Hi there! I stumbled across the Future and Coding podcast and really enjoy it! I just saw this new scientific computing notebook by Mozilla that people here might enjoy: it runs entirely in the browser (with a scientific python stack crosscompiled to web assembly): https://hacks.mozilla.org/2019/03/iodide-an-experimental-tool-for-scientific-communicatiodide-for-scientific-communication-exploration-on-the-web/ - quite cool as it lowers the barrier for participation because vs e.g. Jupyter there is no headache around provisioning backend resources for users to run arbitrary code

I'm a big fan of this Iodide project. I'm a core contributor to Jupyter (notebook, jupyterlab) and I love the idea of kernels in the browser. There are obvious limitations (e.g. memory in the browser) but I'm very excited to see where this work goes.

yeah this is a neat project! At first I thought it was kind of like Idyll - https://idyll-lang.org/gallery - but its really about publishing and presenting interactive “Results” without using much html/css/js
