IPython was already split into language-agnostic front-ends (e.g. the 
notebook) and a language-specific Python backend.   IJulia is based on 
this: it just replaces the Python backend with a Julia backend.   The 
rebranding of the front-end(s) as Jupyter is a (welcome) acknowledgement of 
this reality, rather than a substantial change in direction.
