I love Jupyter notebooks I just wish they looked as good as observable notebooks[1], not just in the overall layout but the charts/graphs you could make in general (plotly, matplotlib, etc don't even come close to d3.js, Observable Plot, etc)... I don't know why there seems to be a hole in the Python ecosystem for good designers or something This seems to be a step in the right direction with reactivity though. But it's not instant like Observable notebooks. But still good [1] https://observablehq.com https://observablehq.com

Doesn't Altair use something like D3 behind the scenes? I guess it's Vega. https://pypi.org/project/altair/ https://pypi.org/project/altair/

IPyflow takes a round trip from client to kernel for each execution (including reactive executions) -- this approach is necessary to get the best possible accuracy when determining dataflow in a highly dynamic language like Python, but it is an architectural limitation that prevents the reactivity from feeling as instant as in Observable or Pluto.

  Err, I guess Pluto probably needs the round trip too but I guess Julia is faster after the initial jit...
