Neptune.jl is effectively a lightweight variation on the Jupyter notebook theme, but written entirely in Julia, based on the package Pluto.jl, but not tied to the ‘reactive execution’ mission being pursued by the developers of Pluto. [In simple terms, Neptune may be seen as Pluto for Data Scientist…

This thread is quickly diverting :slight_smile: let’s try and keep it on topic Edit: and please avoid personal attacks or the like. Saying that you don’t agree with someone is fair, saying that someone is menace based on one interaction is not (IMO), regardless, let’s keep this friendly and civil.

To be clear: I deleted my earlier quote not because I was censored or because I wanted to retract anything I said, but because it (the quote) seemed to be distracting the thread from being constructive. I created Neptune (because (like so many others julia-ites, I think) I was blown away by the ele…

The discussions here remind me of something that’s occurred to me a few times. I’ve often used a notebook (both Jupyter and Pluto) to do some exploration, and then later regretted it somewhat. In the case of Jupyter because of the out-of-order pitfalls that are well known, and in the case of Pluto b…

I used Jupyter quite a lot for data analysis and (recently) also Pluto. Having some rather long-running cells, the reactivity in Pluto has a price, as mentioned above. On the other hand, reactivity removes issues with out-of-order execution and makes a great interactive GUI for exploration. It woul…

[image] mcabbott: I think this fork currently disables that, and leaves cells in whatever order they appear on the screen. Is this a choice or an accident? It seems you could have some of the benefits of being smarter than Jupyter, without the reactivity, by at least keeping track of what order…

Yes. If you executed the saved .jl as a script, it would eexcute in the order presented. Anyway, if you don’t understand the relevance, then don’t worry about it - just that I have my reasons for appreciating/noting your suggestion only, but not pursuing it.
