Pluto.jl VS xeus-cling

I thought that notebook based development and package based development were diametrically opposed in the past, but Pluto.jl notebooks have changed my mind about this.

A Pluto.jl notebook is a human readable Julia source file. The Pluto.jl package is itself developed via Pluto.jl notebooks.

Also, the VSCode Julia plugin tooling has really expanded in functionality and usability for me in the past year. The integrated debugging took some work to setup, but is fast enough to drop into a local frame.

Julia is the first language I have achieved full life cycle integration between exploratory code to sharable package. It even runs quite well on my Android. 2023 is the first year I was able to solve a differential equation or render a 3D surface from a calculated mesh with the hardware in my pocket.

Re Julia there is also pluto.jl that is another notebook-like environment for julia. It's been a few years since I played with it but it looked cool, for example it handles state differently so you don't get into the same messes as with ipython notebooks. https://plutojl.org/

For this, Notebooks are often used. Julia offers a uniquely nice and interactive Pluto notebook for the web https://github.com/fonsp/Pluto.jl

I believe this is what Pluto sets out to do for Julia.

I used it as part of the “Computational Thinking” with Julia course a year or two back. Even then the beta software was very good and some of the demos the Pluto dev showed were nothing short of amazing

I think what you want is Pluto!

I like how Pluto.jl handles this:

> Pluto offers an environment where changed code takes effect instantly and where deleted code leaves no trace. Unlike Jupyter or Matlab, there is no mutable workspace, but rather, an important guarantee:

> At any instant, the program state is completely described by the code you see.

More recent activity, but based on clang: https://github.com/jupyter-xeus/xeus-cling https://github.com/root-project/cling

If you like interactive c/c++, how a look at https://github.com/jupyter-xeus/xeus-cling, that allow you to run the c/c++ repl in Jupyter, either in web interface, and terminal interfaces.

There are Cpp intepreters like Cling. There are even cpp notebooks like https://github.com/jupyter-xeus/xeus-cling. If that's an "IDE" it's questionable

Holy shit, its actually a thing for C++ https://github.com/jupyter-xeus/xeus-cling. Now if only there was a C version...

Links I tried and failed:https://github.com/jupyter-xeus/xeus-cling

Are you talking about interpreted C++? Xeus-cling is your friend (i.e., C++ interpreter).
