Nice watch ! Just wanted to say thank you to those people. They cared enough about it to make it what it is today. An incredibly versatile and powerful, yet simple to understand, language. I remember when an old school C++ guy from a company I worked for showed up at my desk, he had a csv file he output for some complicated case of latencies issues to analyze (that was like ~10 years ago), and he got a glimpse of what a Jupyter notebook / pandas / plotting lib can do. After 15 mins, when we got a clear understanding of what was going on, his face expression was like 'what the hell did just happen ?'. Felt like magic. Still do ! | ||

Now imagine if the same guy had seen the same workflow being done in Smalltalk or Interlisp-D/Lisp Machines. Jupiter Notebooks are a subset of what the experience felt like in those systems. |
