I love reading Wolfram essays and wish I could afford Mathematica.
This article is from 2017 and Jupyter [0] is from 2014. I wish the article had spent more time explaining its relationship to jupyter/python/R/etc notebooks. Even though Mathematica has lots of cool proprietary functionality, I think the main benefit of computational essays (what I call a notebook that’s designed for narrative) is not Mathematica but the sort of fact and computation based story.
I like reading articles that include the data and computation behind them. It makes it less likely that they are full of shit, I think.
