Their are some "cell magics" for running different languages in individual blocks in a Jupyter notebook. I gave it a try in passing with javascript a while back and I remember there was a way to share variables through as well.

You can see the available magics here: https://ipython.org/ipython-doc/3/interactive/magics.html#ce...

Unfortunately it looks like there is none for R or Julia, but perhaps they are installed by those specific packages, or their is some other way I don't know of.

Cell magics are exactly what I was looking for. Much easier to do some data cleanup stuff in Python and move stats heavy stuff to R.

Good video. One thing I am looking to do is call Python from an R notebook, but that doesn't seem to be happening with the magic functions.
