On-the-fly Animation in IJulia Notebooks

This was discussed a while back in Google groups link I’ve tried the same scheme with Plots.jl with Plotly backend, and I am thrilled that this still works. (Julia 0.5.1pre). Below is the code for anybody interested. But my key issue back then and still now is: why does it need to be so complicated? I.e. why can I not simply write x = linspace(0, 2*pi, …
