Interesting. Are there any examples of this library being used so far? Can anybody familiar with the topic elaborate on how much can it actually simplify things and what's left to figure out?

This is an initiative backed by Bloomberg. It was pretty trivial to make a C++ (https://github.com/QuantStack/xeus-cling) and R (https://github.com/JuniperKernel/JuniperKernel) kernel around it.

It's pretty easy to use, the biggest work pending is in the widgets system for charting.

We're working on it: widgets (https://github.com/QuantStack/xwidgets) and bqplot (https://github.com/QuantStack/xplot)

Also in the roadmap, a C+ backend for threejs and ipyvolume.
