Looks exactly like R Studio... but browser-based.
- wodenokoto 11y agoI would have said spyder, since that's the de facto Python IDE for data science. But aren't both really just matlab?
- zzleeper 11y agoIndeed. I don't like much the "looks exactly like .." comments, because (even if I sometimes do think them), similarity in interfaces is actually a great thing, as it allows more people to easily switch and pick from r/py/julia/matlab/octave/stata/spss or whatever language is more promising in other areas. In other words, it reduces the mental cost of switching.
- est 11y agoMatlab and ipython notebook are totally different things
- pjmlp 11y agoYes, but they both take inspiration from how Xerox PARC and Symbiotic REPLs used to work, or more close to modern days Dr Scheme/Racket.
- wodenokoto 11y agoNobody mentioned notebook in this thread. Maybe you clicked reply the wrong place? Spyder is the Python IDE that takes after matlab, not ipython notebook.
- scott_karana 11y agoNobody said it in this thread, but it was stated in the article: > You can think of it as an alternative UI to the notebook for the IPython Kernel
- sankethkatta 11y agoR Studio, also has a browser version via R Studio Server: http://www.rstudio.com/products/RStudio/#Server http://www.rstudio.com/products/RStudio/#Server
- Mikeb85 11y agoR Studio is browser based as well. It just happens to ship in a Chromium shell...
