Jupyter notebooks have been around for almost a decade now. The interesting piece here is adding Ruby as a language that can be used instead of the original Python. (There have been many other languages integrated with Jupyter as well.)
- lucasoshiro 2y agoJupyter means "Julia, Python, R", the three original languages that it was created for. Nowadays you can add support for many languages by using other kernels. If you want to see the available kernels for each language you can check it here: https://github.com/jupyter/jupyter/wiki/Jupyter-kernels https://github.com/jupyter/jupyter/wiki/Jupyter-kernels
- dpflan 2y agoRuby fits in here nicely then...
- fifilura 2y agoJuPytR aaaah! TIL!
- michaelmior 2y agoDidn't know that. I always thought of Jupyter as originally a Python thing. Thanks for sharing that :)
- jcheng 2y agoJupyter is a rebrand of iPython, so you were right the first time!
- physicsguy 2y agoIt wasn’t ´created’ for the three languages at all. Originally the whole project was ‘IPython’ and then ‘IPython Notebook’. It came out of Fernando Perez’s attempt to make interactive Python a better experience. They renamed it Jupyter to reflect that it was no longer a pure Python project as kernels were written in even before it rebranded as Jupyter. Those three were the most popular at the time but by no means the only ones. I used to work with one of the core team about the time they changed this!
