The fact that everyone I talk to agrees that this format sucks and then turns around and ask us to use yet another formatting tool (jupytext, nvcovert blah blah) is equally vexing.
Rmarkdown (+rstudio) has shown that one can have the cake and eat it too. Ironically, I prefer rstudio for doing exploratory coding with python. Hopefully their recent pivot to more-than-byond-R will save us from this .ipynb mess.
- enriquto 4y ago> [...] ask us to use yet another formatting tool (jupytext [...] Heh. Notice that jupytext is not merely a file format converter. It is a plugin to jupyter that allows it to treat python and markdown files as notebooks. This works both for input and output, with transparent and idempotent round-trips. Once you have this plugin you don't see ipynb files ever again (unless for some bizarre reason you specifically save your notebooks into this format).
- wodenokoto 4y agoWith the announcement of RStudio (the company) changing name I learned about the existence of qmd, which is sort of the next generation rmd. It’s language agnostic (both in name but also cell meta data is yaml instead of r code) and the ecosystem around it already supports a lot of editors. In defense of ipynb, I really do enjoy that code and output are together. The only place it isn’t nice is in git.
