SoS Notebook – Using multiple kernels in one Jupyter notebook

I started to use IPython, and then Jupyter more than ten years ago but despite of all the nice features, there were always something missing, something that prevented me from using it as my main working environment. Notably, Jupyter lacks Line by line execution of scripts: The basic execution units

SoS Notebook – Using multiple kernels in one Jupyter notebook launched on December 5, 2017 with 41 votes, #720 of 2,482 launches that month and more than 90% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 8 years on.

In plain words

SoS Notebook extends Jupyter by enabling multiple programming language kernels to run in a single notebook while supporting line-by-line code execution. Designed for developers and data scientists who use Jupyter, it addresses the limitation of cell-based execution by allowing finer-grained debugging and code iteration. The tool lets users work with different programming languages simultaneously and execute code more granularly than standard Jupyter cells allow.

    Hey HN! We’ve forked Jupyter Lab and added AI code generation features that feel native and have all the context about your notebook. You can see a demo video (2 min) here: https://www.tella.tv/video/clxt7ei4v00rr09i5gt1laop6/view Try a hosted version here: https://pretzelai.app Jupyter is by far the most used Data Science tool. Despite its popularity, it still lacks good code-generation extensions. The flagship AI extension jupyter-ai lags far behind in features and UX compared to modern AI code generation and understanding tools (like…

  • A modern Jupyter client for macOS2024 · satyrn.app · ▲611

    I love Jupyter – it's how I learned to code back when I was working as a scientist. But I was always frustrated that there wasn't a simple and elegant app that I could use with my Mac. I made do by wrapping JupyterLab in a chrome app, and then more recently switching to VS Code to make use of Copilot. I've always craved a more focused and lighter-weight experience when working in a notebook. That's why I created Satyrn. It starts up really fast (faster time-to-execution than VS Code or JupyterLab), you can launch notebooks right from the Finder, and the design is super minimalist. It's got…
