I was looking for a new data notebook toy to ease the tedium of reporting some metrics. I found the clojure-based https://github.com/nextjournal/clerk https://github.com/nextjournal/clerk which I like the look of and remember clojure being rather pleasing interactively. That lisp and Julia might have some commonality made me look for something similar (that isn't jupyter) for Julia. Seems like https://github.com/fonsp/Pluto.jl https://github.com/fonsp/Pluto.jl is such a thing. Does anyone have any experience of either they could share?

Pluto is the best notebook system I've used, and development is very rapid so it's getting better all the time.

  My problem with notebooks is that I don't get to use any of my highly-customized Neovim extensions. I'm sure Emacs users feel the same way. That aside, I still have not found my ideal notebook client. I don't particularly like the "notebook" format anyway. I prefer having my code and output side-by-side. I want to be able to toggle among the "code | output" vertical split layout, code-only, and output-only, on a per-cell basis. I also want the split to be adjustable in each cell, so I can make the code take up 90% of the width or 10% of the width if I want it to. I of course want cells to be vertically collapsible. And I want an automatic table of contents in a sidebar "drawer". I want reactivity between cells. I want an extension ecosystem with things like a nice file picker and a built-in Git GUI. I want to connect to remote kernels (this is supposed to be possible with the Jupyter ecosystem but practically it's not well supported). And most of all, I don't want to run it in a damn Web browser! And if the text editor box was also an embedded Neovim frontend, I wouldn't complain about that.
