I've been mentally comparing Leo with Jupyter notebooks

pyplot graphs into Leo, these are pretty much two separate worlds.
Jupyter is visually stunning, and is a great platform for sharing.
There is a reason why it is popular among scientists. Leo has no
chance of replacing it.
Otoh, Leo is far better for organizing complex data and documents.
You wouldn't likely build a book with Jupyter. You could, however,
organize a book with Leo, and then build sections or chapters with
Jupyter.
The idea on how to get the Leo emergent structure and the interactivity
of IPython/Jupyter (see [1][2]) in a single device led me to build
Grafoscopio [3], based Pharo Smalltalk instead of Python, and there I'm
writing my complete PhD thesis and have done some "complex" bookish
sized documents (showcased also at [3]). I think that this mixture of
outlining plus live coding is a powerful one and I encourage this
exploration. I imagine Leo nodes talking, via zeroMQ, to Jupyter
kernels, as a way of implementing this mixture.

Leo explorations are a source of inspiration for other communities and
devices.
Cheers,
Offray
