Jupyter has been revolutionary - Steve Yegge predicted that emacs's greatest competition will be the web browser and this has been a partial fulfillment of that. I'm personally a big fan of org-babel due its text-based nature but the accessibility of Jupyter has made it the great equalizer.
- sunsetSamurai 5y agolol emacs? vscode probably have a million time more user's than emacs, hell probably vim is more pupular than emacs
- xxpor 5y agoI'm 99% sure that's not what he means. He's talking about the power of emacs.
- fooofw 5y agoVS Code has a lot in common with webbrowsers. VS Code is (as e.g. the older Atom) mostly implemented using web technologies HTML, CSS and JavaScript that execute in a runtime forked from a browser (Chromium). I assume the grand parent is, at least partially, referring to this essay [1]. Here, the browser and HTML/CSS/JS is complimented for its dynamic nature and low barrier to entry, similarly to Emacs. In that sense, VS Code, like Jupyter, is a perfect example of the webbrowser gaining functionality of Emacs.
