Well yes easy but ... First, doing it this way makes it almost invisible except if we actually start actively discussing it here. Second, as I recall (correct me if I am wrong) this means that a specific binary SBCL-based version of FriCAS is installed with a Lisp-level library for Jupyter kernel support. In order to add it to the FriCAS distribution I presume that this would have to be extended to support a wider range of Lisps and hopefully packaged in a way that at least the interface part was distributed with FriCAS. Of course Jupyter itself would have to be loaded in whatever way was standard for the Jupyter user and then the kernel from the FriCAS distribution appropriately installed. This would be closer to the way that we support TeXmacs. > I must admit that I would like some people to work with it, but > to propose it for everyday use, it is maybe a bit early.
