In addition to what I've already said, R Notebooks have native support for widgets, autogenerated TOC, and themes (although all of those can be added to Jupyter I believe). There's also the meta-support from being embedded in an IDE. (package management/variable explorer/etc)

Here's an example of one of my notebooks with all 3 things: http://minimaxir.com/notebooks/breach-network/

It's definitely a better fit for R.

Thanks for the example! That definitely includes a bunch of things I think Jupyter should have, but "purists" might consider out of scope (theming, ToC, something as simple as being able to hide cells interactively).

Currently, Jupyter works well for development, but the result is often hard to read because code gets in the way. (unless you use nbconvert, but that sometimes defeats the purpose)

Jupyter notebooks have widgets too, created with combination of Python and JavaScript.

Some widgets are pretty advanced, I saw a presentation by a developer from Bloomberg, in NYC, about their bqplot widget library.

https://github.com/bloomberg/bqplot

They even have gamepad/controller support, which allows dynamic interactions with widgets.

Edit: Live demo of the project from PyData London 2016: https://youtu.be/eVET9IYgbao?t=27m45s

And this depends on ipywidgets (or at least similar - Syvian Corlayhas developed both).

These widgets support embedding in other contexts like static HTML pages or Sphinx docs [1]. An example can be seen on the docs [2]

I believe you can also embed one inside an IDE. I am pretty sure you can do this with PyCharm.

Well, for me the big one is that R Notebooks work cleanly with revision control systems like git.

That said, both Jupyter and R Markdown Notebooks are but a pale shadow of the support offered by Org-mode (seriously!).

Yes, but the large number of excellent notebooks available for Jupyter (and R as well) all over the web as well as support for CUDA and all kinds of extremely powerful libraries such as tensorflow) give those a serious edge over Org-mode, even though Org-mode is super powerful by itself.

I run my Clojure + OpenCL + CUDA code from Org-mode without problems.

On a remote machine or on your local machine?

Either. :)

If you setup a source block, you can use TRAMP to actually execute the command in a source block on a remote machine. So:

    #+BEGIN_SRC sh :dir /[email protected]:~/remotedir 
      ls
    #+END_SRC

The above will run ls on "remotemachine.com" and put the results in an output block below it.

Edit: Meant to add that you can do the same with docker. Just use "/docker:dockerId:" as the dir, and it will execute in a docker instance locally. Using multihop addresses, this can get extreme.

Oh, that's very cool. Almost QNX like!

Org mode is one of the few real literate programming tools that I'm aware of, the other one is 'Leo'.

that's it. I'm learning org-mode.

Please do a write-up.

If there are examples you'd like to see written up, I'd be interested in helping out.

I used to try complicated examples, which led to pages such as http://taeric.github.io/Sudoku.html. I'm now much more into writeups such as http://www.howardism.org/Technical/Emacs/literate-devops.htm.... (Note, I did not write the second one.)

I always feel guilty pointing out that org-mode can do this really well. :) Thanks for taking that hit!

Know of any good resources that show this for folks that don't know what we are talking about?

Are there any public examples of really good Jupyter-like org-mode projects with their source?

I'm really intrigued by it, but Jupyter is much more clearly documented (org docs are downright sprawling), so I've always gone that path.

I would look at atom's Hydrogen https://atom.io/packages/hydrogen

Looks like a good demo of Jupyter, but I was looking for demos like this for org-mode.
