beakerx

I do all my data analysis in groovy using JupyterLab via beakerx: https://github.com/twosigma/beakerx It has some quirks, but it works amazingly well really, esp. with the enhanced widgets BeakerX gives you.

Yes it surprised me there was so much discussion of jupyter notebooks as if they only support Python but there is great support for all kinds of languages including very statically typed ones (Scala, etc). I do lots of ML in Groovy using beakerx [0] which is pretty much the last thing anybody would expect but it works great. [0] https://github.com/twosigma/beakerx

yes ... I feel like everyone is stuck in a local minima (or maxima, depending on your optimisation direction!) of using matplotlib which is "good enough" but not very good. So there isn't great momentum to improve it, but nobody really likes it. My favorite plotting syntax is that exposed in BeakerX [1], but that's less common than everything else put together.

You should check out beakerx: https://github.com/twosigma/beakerx It'll give you Java, Scala, Kotlin, and Groovy kernels. I would particularly suggest the Groovy kernels (and Groovy in general) for munging around data with Java. I actually prefer it to pandas/Python except for the less rich ecosystem around machine learning / stats / deep learning. NB: For the SPA-like side, have a look at Micronaut which will work nicely with Groovy / Kotlin / Java and then you don't need Node, just interface Micronaut directly with your React code.

Someone else mentioned pandas and AQR; I'll also mention BeakerX (Beaker Notebook) which was developed by Two Sigma: https://github.com/twosigma/beakerx You can read more about it here, too: http://beakernotebook.com Jane Street is also pretty awesome - they open sourced their in-house standard library for OCaml, called Base: https://github.com/janestreet/base (they use a lot of OCaml).

We are actually working on improving the polyglot support in Jupyter by porting/merging work from Beaker Notebook (http://beakernotebook.com) into Jupyter and especially into Jupyter Lab. This new effort is called BeakerX: https://github.com/twosigma/beakerx. We have autotranslation working in one direction now, should have multi-way in a couple of weeks.

Beaker Notebook (Two Sigma), New York City fullstack, devops & test develop the next generation of open source data visualization and analysis and distributed computing tools (https://github.com/twosigma/beaker-notebook) https://careers.twosigma.com/careers/JobDetail/New-York-New-... https://careers.twosigma.com/careers/JobDetail/New-York-New-...

Beaker Notebook (posted several times, but without much attention[0]) does something similar: http://beakernotebook.com/features It supports these languages: Python, Python3, R, JavaScript, SQL, C++, Scala/Spark, Lua/Torch, Java, Julia, Groovy, Node, Ruby, HTML, and Clojure. It has an experimental native version: https://github.com/twosigma/beaker-notebook/wiki/Electron-Be...

Beaker Notebook (Two Sigma) | NYC | full-time onsite | full-stack The Beaker team develops a web UI and IDE for statistical modeling, data analysis, and visualization. Beaker is open source, based on a modern Angular frontend, nginx and a collection of servers, mostly JVM-based. The work is done primarily on Github (https://github.com/twosigma/beaker-notebook) outside the corporate network, making for a comfortable and high-velocity developer experience. We are looking for a fullstack engineer to take this complex application to 2.0, including performance optimization of IPC between multiple languages using shared memory, server architecture, collaborative realtime editing, and cluster integration. Contact me directly with any questions or to apply (spot at draves dot org). Two Sigma is also hiring all kinds of technologists and scientist

we also use katex in beaker and it's great. very fast, not as complete as mathjax (also good and we used to use it). https://github.com/twosigma/beaker-notebook

One project I've recently been wanting play around with is Beaker, which touts itself as a polyglot data science notebook tool. The pitch is that you can use the right tool for the job, no matter what questions you want to ask next to each other. It looks like an iPython notebook on steroids. http://beakernotebook.com/ https://github.com/twosigma/beaker-notebook Disclaimer (or not): no involvement, but looks very handy.

don't feel bad, it's very useful to hear what people need. feedback guides development. so thank you very much. i hear you on 1 -- agreed & some help is on the agenda: https://github.com/twosigma/beaker-notebook/issues/3688. and then editing regular flat files for inclusion via the backend's native import (even into non-beaker programs). on 2, yes many plotting APIs have that problem. beaker's native plotting library produces a thumb so you can drag to resize: https://pub.beakernotebook.com/#/publications/568ddaed-b648-...

thanks. indeed autotranslation currently only works for small data. fixing it with shared memory and hdf5 is on the agenda for later this year: https://github.com/twosigma/beaker-notebook/wiki/Roadmap I would really like to hear what usability and convenience advantages RStudio has for you...
