The terminal of the future

whoa this looks fascinating, i've never heard of it before! thank you for the link :)

I was thinking of Arcan and the Lash#Cat9 setup by the end of your second paragraph. I'm very surprised you had not met it: it seems so directly aligned with your interests and goals, but all you seemed to talk about was Jupyter, a tool which I tried and TBH discarded after 10min.

It is very hard to explain Arcan but I tried:

I talked to Bjorn Stahl quite a bit before writing it, but he is so smart he seems to me to find it hard to talk down to mere mortals. There's a pretty good interview with him on Lobsters:

You really should talk to him. Together you two could do amazing things. But IMHO let Jupyter go. There's a lot more to life than Python. :-)

To add to lproven's point.

An article called "A Spreadsheet and a Debugger walk into a Shell" [0] by Bjorn (letoram) is a good showcase of an alternative to cells in a Jupyter notebook (Excel like cells!). Another alternative a bit more similar to Jupyter that also runs on Arcan is Pipeworld.
