hydrogen

I still use Atom+Hydrogen most days.. About the same amount of years since the last (major) updates as nteract. https://github.com/nteract/hydrogen

Folks who know Pulsar and Zed internals: which one of them is more likely to gain support for Atom packages? I find Hydrogen[1] invaluable as a data science scratchpad since it supports python/r/julia/etc under a common interface via jupyter, and have been unable to construct a comparable workflow in vscode or any other editor [using scripts as opposed to notebooks, which i find far too bloated]. [1]: https://github.com/nteract/hydrogen

But with Hydrogen you could do that in a regular Python script without needing to create a notebook or think in terms of cells. There's an example of this in the Hydrogen readme: https://github.com/nteract/hydrogen#hydrogen-

This is terrible. While I like VSCode, I exclusively use Atom for programming in Python because of Hydrogen [0], an extension which makes .py scripts feel and behave as though they were Jupyter Notebooks. I hope the nteract/Hydrogen devs are able to save their work and move it over to Zed/VSCode. [0] https://github.com/nteract/hydrogen

I personally found Atom + Hydrogen [0] to be the most productive interactive Python environment I've ever used. I really want to see VSCode adopt some way to run a Jupyter kernel for a Python file (with a notebook UI) and have rich results in line with the code (i.e. not a terminal output off to the right side of the screen).

I use Hydrogen for that: https://github.com/nteract/hydrogen

In case anyone reads this, I submitted a PR to support exporting Markdown cells from Hydrogen: https://github.com/nteract/hydrogen/pull/1498

Improved export from Hydrogen to Jupyter Notebooks is at the top of my wishlist, and I'm hoping to submit a PR for it soon. See this issue: https://github.com/nteract/hydrogen/issues/1296

In the medium term, it's likely that Hydrogen will be able to read and write .ipynb files. It can currently export .ipynb files but has some bugs [0]. [0]: https://github.com/nteract/hydrogen/issues/1296

It doesn't appear to. Helpfully, Hydrogen [0] for Atom was designed to be entirely language agnostic. [0]: https://github.com/nteract/hydrogen

Great presentation, does anyone know if it was recorded? The strength that kept me coming back to notebooks was their power at iterating on a problem but I was continuously frustrated at the difficulty of extracting my solution / tracking it in git / collaborating with colleagues etc. Also I didn't enjoy the editor experience from a UX point of view. I've since started using hydrogen [1], a plugin for Atom which (via a Jupyter kernel) seems to get what I wanted from both worlds - it's just a python file but I get most of the notebook fun!

I'm interested if anyone has good tools for this kind of workflow, especially for Python. As others have mentioned in the comments it seems that similar workflows have existed across a number of languages and IDEs for many years, but it seems that they haven't really caught mainstream attention (in the sense of there being common conventions that multiple languages and tools follow). For my own workflow, I have a debugger-like tool for IPython (https://github.com/nikitakit/xdbg) that lets me set a breakpoint anywhere in my code and resume the current Jupyter session once the breakpoint is reached, making sure that scope is properly adjusted to provide access to all local variables. When combined with text editor integration (such as https://github.com/nteract/hydrogen), this is the best I've managed to come up with in terms of minimizing

As an alternative to Jupyter UI and Emacs, Hydrogen (https://github.com/nteract/hydrogen) could be viable. It runs as an Atom extension and connects to a Jupyter server instance. I haven't used it for anything other than a minimal project, but I preferred its UX to that of the browser interface of Jupyter. Atom isn't my favorite editor, but it's pleasant for this particular use case. Looks like the same team also offers an Electron-based application instead of an Atom extension.

You're not the only one. I don't want notebooks, I want my own damned editor. For Atom, there is https://github.com/nteract/hydrogen which embeds Jupyter/iPython output right inside of your editor, not so different from how RStudio works.
