Creating something in the scope of Jupiter is not trivial. In any case, maybe creating something for the browser only because JS is native is easier (but still I won't call it "pretty trivial"). For this you have projects like https://starboard.gg/.

Re debug experience I completely agree - it just isn’t sexy… yet? Browser dev tools have proven that debugging is super important. It feels like code debuggers have been stagnant for past couple decades. https://thonny.org/ has been featured on HN recently. Looks at least as an iterative step forward.

WinPython

Thank for answering. I understand that the interpreter situation can be annoying. There is WinPython [0] to circumvent that to some degree. I feel like if I don’t do it the „VSCode and py-file“ way, it’ll be more and more difficult to keep everything together when teaching about modularity and putting functions in helper scripts, putting tests in other directories and such. I think it’s just because I got used to using VSCode and not Notebooks although I’ve used them for a while. [0] https://winpython.github.io.

Binder

Another strategy that works really well with beginners is to use jupter notebooks via https://mybinder.org/ links. We put all the materials on github, and then send the workshop participants a link[2] that launches a remote jupyter lab, so they don't have to install anything at all. That works well, but make sure to download your notebook in the end of the session because they are ephemeral (will disconnect if no commands for 20 minutes). [2] Example mybinder link that launches a notebook from a github repo:.

Hi! My name is Claudia and I am a PM at Microsoft (opinions are my own) working on Polyglot Notebooks in VS Code. Polyglot Notebooks are exactly what you are describing! They are notebooks where you can use multiple languages AND share variables between them to ensure a continuous workflow. Not only that, but each language has language server support. Polyglot Notebooks currently supports C#, F#, PowerShell, JavaScript, HTML, SQL, KQL, and Mermaid. We have just added support for Python and R integration and I am actually in search of external testers! If you are willing to sign an NDA to try out our Python and R integration and give us feedback please drop your email in the form below and I will reach out with instructions for you to try it out! https://forms.office.com/r/UQchfQSGa5 If you'd like to start trying it out today you can install the extension from the marketplace here: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-dotnettools.dotnet-interactive-vscode <a href="https://github.com/dotnet/interactive">https://github.com/dotnet/interactive</a>.
