As someone who hasn't worked with Jupyter beyond a simple iPython shell, this comment sent me down a bit of a rabbit hole. If anyone's interested, here are some links.

Jupyter docs for making a kernel: http://jupyter-client.readthedocs.io/en/latest/kernels.html

List of jupyter kernels: https://github.com/jupyter/jupyter/wiki/Jupyter-kernels

Jupyter seems like a cleanly designed piece of software that is easy to integrate with. I like the use of ZeroMQ for the wire protocol.
