In Advantages of Using R Notebooks Instead of Jupyter Notebooks (2017)

I've found ob-ipython [1] within Org Mode to be one of the best options for interfacing with Jupyter. If you're sick of the limitations of working in a browser, it's worth checking out.

j88439h84·Aug 9, 2018Recommendation phrase

github.com/gregsexton/ob-ipython is by a good margin my favorite way to do literate programming. All the power of org with most of the Jupyter goodies. Only downside relative to jupyter in browser is missing the interactive javascript widgets, but well worth it for me.

In Blogging with Emacs org-mode

hatmatrix·Apr 15, 2018

org-mode + babel is excellent. But again the social aspect necessary for adoption is much less developed than Jupyter (the emacs community is very social, but small). In that Jupyter files are just json files, I hope that there it will be easier to switch between the two in the future. Like [1], [2], and [3].

This is great for working with python - https://github.com/gregsexton/ob-ipython I haven't had as much luck using it for other languages, but I also haven't put in much effort into trying.

In JupyterLab is ready for users
