Hi ! Thank you for your reply ! I think the best way to be sure that Jesth will meet your needs is to try jesth-demo [0]. I think Jesth does a better job than TOML, YAML and JSON when it comes to nested structures or readability in general. JSON remains the boss of machine-to-machine communication, though ! It is also possible that my other project Exn [1] meets your needs.

thank you very much, here is my notebook app https://github.com/shi-yan/Epiphany https://github.com/shi-yan/Epiphany Exn does look very related.

  Epiphany looks cool ! Exn does not yet support mathematical expressions and deliberately promotes editing of raw exonote text files. It looks like under the hood you're using Webkit-like technology... Could Epiphany embed programs like Exn does ?

    My first version was something like jupyter notebook https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQjBhsC3oi0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQjBhsC3oi0 but I don't run it anymore. The one on github is a rewrite and it is closer to notion. I removed the programming part, because I feel that a notebook is not the best environment for writing code. It may be ok for ad hoc programming, but for serious coding, I want an IDE. I may create multiple files instead of mixing everything together in a single page.

You can embed on an Exonote, a program (developed with an IDE) available in your current virtual environment for example !
