As much as I hate technology, Jupyter (horrible name) Notebooks are kinda rad. I've been writing some little follow-along Python worksheets for the little 'uns (1st year undergrads) to go alongside the theory module Being able to just output a graph, or print an SVG string, or write a table, and have it rendered right there is so cool. Plus, it comes with a perfectly fine editor that runs in the browser (which can be hosted to students by projects like https://noteable.edina.ac.uk/documentation/) I wonder if there actually is much of a pedagogical basis to that sort of interactive/literate programming style? I assume there is (I'm sure Org + Babel could probably do all that too, if you whacked it hard enough!)
