Personally I find literate programming helpful not for simple programming tasks, but for really hard ones; if you can quickly scan a few lines of code and figure out what's going on, then you probably don't need it. But if it&#x27

Do HTMLWidgets really work with Jupyter? I saw there is an issue but it's still open: https://github.com/ramnathv/htmlwidgets/issues/144 Or are you referring to ipywidgets, not literally HTMLWidgets?
