Using Python and OCaml in the same Jupyter notebook
The jupyter-notebook interface is IMO, not really suited for interactive development.
Notebooks enforce code to be broken up into pieces of cells to be evaluated. The code must be written in a specific linear way to cater the format of notebooks. Also the distinction between the code & notebooks are too big, it's clunky to move between. You get to resort copy-pasting back-and-forth. It's always frustrating when I try to do development in an interactive way, and finds out that hooking on jupyter-notebook (whether the language is Python or Node.JS or etc...) is the best way.<p>I think there should be a better integration between editors & REPLs, something like Common Lisp & Emacs SLIME. SLIME queries a server running on Common Lisp to incrementally compile & evaluate code from the editor (like LSP, but not autocomplete queries but evaluation queries). I hope the LSP protocol gains ability to evaluate code for languages with REPLs, it would be awesome if it allows interactive development in multiple editors & multiple languages (like how LSP is facilitating autocomplete).
