jupyterlab-desktop VS tslab

An alternative in the Python world that is definitely worth looking into is the JupyterLab Desktop app, which is a standalone installer that is cross-platform and works great for beginners (no command line needed): https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab-desktop?tab=readme-...

See my other comment in the main thread with more info.

JupyterLab Desktop supports remote server connections out of the box (you just install one locally and a plain JupyterLab on the server using pip).

How JupyterLab Desktop works

Although jupyter notebooks work fine in VSCode you could also try jupyter desktop: https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab-desktop

Learning syntax of a new language is trivial, but also not very useful if you haven't learned programming in general. Learning programming is a lifelong process, you are never done with it. It's just a different way of thinking and problemsolving and there will always be problems that are just beyond you, its kind of like math or physics this way. But problems aren't unsolvable for you because you lack language, but because the problem is simply harder than what you can wrap your head around, or larger in scope than what you with limited time can pull off. But, knowing a little bit of programming and little bit of python can be a powerful thing in many jobs. Depends on which problems you need to solve of course. Get JupyterLab for desktop to play around with, it's probably worth your time. https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab-desktop

I am on the MacOS, and I would like to access the jlab executable like this webpage describes:

You might like tslab. It allows you to have the full notebook experience with either JavaScript or Typescript. My day to day is data analysis. JS/TS runs circles around pandas and you aren’t constrained to vectorized operations. If there were a suitable replacement for matplotlib I would leave python behind altogether.

And you can use typescript with the native notebook debugging, it has lots of bugs right now but will be the best usage of jupyter-notebook. (see: https://github.com/yunabe/tslab)
