I'm very impressed by first impressions of https://marimo.io/ - a brand new open source Python notebook implementation, a bit like Jupyter but with reactive cells as seen in https://observablehq.com/ - which means any edits you make to values or code (or a UI element) in a cell cause all dependent cells to update automatically

Fantastic first run experience too: "pipx install marimo" and then "marimo tutorial intro"

@simon It's very cool, but tbh I don't want a tool that encourages me to make non-linear notebooks. Nor do I want to give up the Jupyter ecosystem tools. Impressive work for two devs, but Jupytext solves the execution and git problems well enough that I don't see the draw.

@lafncow The reactive, non-linear notebooks thing is absolutely the key feature for me - having used that extensively in https://observablehq.com/ notebooks - e.g. this one https://observablehq.com/@simonw/datasette-downloads-per-day-with-observable-plot - it's the thing I've most wanted in Jupyter, to the point that I'm OK giving up all sorts of other parts of that ecosystem to get it.

anson,

@simon just played with it and there’s a few rough edged outside of the tutorials but overall this is awesome. I’ve been waiting for something like Pluto from #julia to come to python

@anson I'm very impressed at the quality given the entire project is less than six months old
