I'm actively using it with Julia and Torch. It should work with any Jupyter kernel (and there are lots: https://github.com/ipython/ipython/wiki/IPython-kernels-for-...).

In practice, different kernels have various oddities or holes in their implementation of the spec. I'm accommodating them when I can and posting issues when I can't. Let me know if you find a kernel that doesn't work!

Wow, that's a lot of languages!

How is the Ruby support? A Rails console in the file I'm writing sounds epic. No longer would I need to clumsily suck the interesting lines back out of irb history using copy/paste.

Looks active: https://github.com/SciRuby/iruby I'll have to try it.

I haven't tried the Ruby kernel - let me know how it works, and post an issue if anything breaks!

Pretty dismal for now. :( https://github.com/SciRuby/iruby/issues/1

It looks like they got it working with python2, then the switch to python3 broke everything.

Hopefully in a few months the python3 version will work better than the python2 version.
