This looks cool but how does this translate to being beneficial in real world web applications?

Often times the result of running some bit of code is to see the end result in a browser because the code resulted in sending a bunch of HTML or JSON as a response.

Also in the above case your code isn't self contained to a block of code. Chances are you have a web server, along with a database and cache server. Most of my projects are also encapsulated in half a dozen Docker containers. How is this plugin going to know what to do with that?

Starting up an entire stack of programs to live preview a few lines of code would end up being slower than just saving the file and reloading the browser to see feedback.

Jupyter Notebooks are more for statistical, iterative coding, not running an application.

Thanks. I wasn't aware of what Jupyter was.

I only glanced the top of the README which compares the project to what Light Table was trying to solve and then showed an animated gif of inline code evaluation examples.
