In the article, there’s an example where a graph object needs to be:
- converted to png
- converted into a promise of an array buffer
- awaited
- converted into a Uint8Array
- passed to Deno.jupyter.image
Just to display it in the notebook. In Python Jupyter, you can just return many types and the library/Jupyter will figure out how to render them.
A few lines of code isn’t much but in my experience for interactive coding to be productive you have to remove every bit of friction and boilerplate you can.
