  1. Python+Jupyter+NumPy+SciPy+Matplotlib gives you a few more possibilities.

  2. One of the handy things I have done in Emacs is define custom commands to jump to the next or previous line with the same indentation level as the present one. This is handy for Python programming, since as you may know, Python doesn’t have statement brackets that you could target with the standard jump-to-matching-opening/closing bracketing-symbol commands.

  3. Can org mode matchi this https://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/ipython/ipython/blob/3.x/examples/IPython%20Kernel/Rich%20Output.ipynb ?

  4. I prefer to do “literate programming” in a Jupyter notebook.

  5. Jupyter’s rich output goes beyond anything you can (easily) do in Emacs. Example: https://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/ipython/ipython/blob/3.x/examples/IPython%20Kernel/Rich%20Output.ipynb . Yes, its editor is not up to more than the lightest of tasks. That’s why I like to copy-paste text between Jupyter and Emacs.

  6. None of the haters would have even been born when Emacs was created.

  7. 8:50 Jupyter input cell: ‌ %%script sbcl --script (prin1 "Hello, world!") ‌ Output: ‌ "Hello, world!" ‌ SBCL is Steel Bank Common LISP, which is a more complete LISP implementation than ELISP.

  8. Here https://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/ipython/ipython/blob/3.x/examples/IPython%20Kernel/Rich%20Output.ipynb and here https://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/ipython/ipython/blob/3.x/examples/IPython%20Kernel/Beyond%20Plain%20Python.ipynb are some examples of what is possible with Jupyter+IPython.

  9. Where did that “do one thing and do it well” nonsense come from?

  10.  @bakters  So how does it apply to things like the shell or X11? Or the kernel? Or the whole antiquated sysvinit mechanism, that some people seem to prefer to systemd?
