Jupyter 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.

- 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!
