Aware of this, but somehow it seems to miss the mark? It's hard to use third party libraries, and is a little buggy. We asked a lot of devs if they had used it, and often got the answer that they tried it and churned because it wasn't a good experience.

Do you use it? Does it work well for you? I'm interested in learning more about your use case if you don't mind sharing.

The experience is awful if you don't want any of the Python stuff.

so you never install any language and tool other than that of js? That's not a realistic expectation in modern software development imo. Just accept it and use the best tool for the job. jupyter is for playing around anyway so the fact that you don't have to think about how it affects production makes it not as complicated as it sounds.

You don't need to use the web client, all IDEs have jupyter integration these days, Zed even has it built-in. Just one "pip install" away.

So? Jupyter is deeply embedded in the Python ecosystem which is a repressive hierarchy run by representatives of some companies as well as some rich people in the scientific ecosystem.

People who want to move away from that welcome any alternatives, be it Mathematica or true open source replacements in TypeScript. Please port numpy to TypeScript, too!
