evcxr VS ipython

In theory you should be able to create Rust notebooks (Jupyter notebook) using evcxr so maybe some AI, data analysis, prototyping make sense if you aim for good performance in final application (protype in evcxr and use notebook as reference to implement final application in Rust for speed and safety).

You should check out evcxr

I think you might like this project: https://github.com/google/evcxr . It brings the REPL workflow to Rust, so having fast iteration should not be an issue.

While not Elixir good, the evcxr python notebook plugin gets you 50% of the way there.

I've started liking evcxr (https://github.com/google/evcxr) for REPL. It's a little slow compared to other REPLs, but still good enough to be usable after initial load.

Would such a project make it possible to have a faster rust repl? We can use evcxr, but it definitely doesn't feel first-class.

I'm a long-time python developer and develop on the side in Rust for about as long as you, I also found myself familiar with the available datastructures and algorithms, as well as some FP-inspired syntax ( i.e. iterators instead of for loops ) . evcxr is reminiscent of ipython, it can even be integrated with jupyter notebook. And indeed I was surprised to find myself in such a familiar world. It's definitely something that more python developers should be aware of.

!pip install is error-prone, it is better to use %pip install, ipython even warns about this, https://github.com/ipython/ipython/pull/12954/

If not, why not open an issue at https://github.com/ipython/ipython asking for clarification of the docs?

The git history (here is the git blame) shows it has not been updated in 9 year. Looks like a documentation issue that you should open an issue against.

Do you know IPython? It is a modern Python console that extends the capabilities of the classic builtin Python shell by offering introspection, tab completion, syntaxing coloring, as well as history. If you don't know it, I can't recommend it enough. More information can be found in its GitHub page.

For further documentation on ipython using the CLI, you can refer to the GitHub link or the documentation page.

There’s one I’ve come across recently here where you’re fighting against syntax highlighting with extra error context. https://github.com/ipython/ipython/issues/13446#issuecomment...

I see. https://github.com/ipython/ipython/issues/13529

You can automate setup for developers using this simple script:

And here’s a GitLab issue requesting support for blame-ignore:

https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/31423

I don’t think there’s a corresponding GitHub request, but maybe if GitLab adds this feature GitHub will have some incentive to follow suit.

Here’s a script that automates the once-per-repository local setup of this feature:

https://github.com/ipython/ipython/pull/12091/files

Unfortunately there isn’t support for it in GitHub or GitLab yet, but there’s at least a GitLab issue here requesting it:
