The Dawn of a New Command Line Interface (2017)

Re:The Dawn of a New Command Line Interface (2017) by hos234 on Wednesday November 27, 2019 @12:29AM (#21645501)

I have been looking for something like jupyter notebooks or matplotlib interactive mode that works in the terminal. Meaning I type in a command and if output is an image or video or interactive graph it shows up in the terminal itself. How much time would it take to create something like that with arcan? Or something like that already available?

Wolfram Mathematica is what Jupyter Notebooks probably came from. Their notebooks allow you to do all sorts of command line stuff as well as neural nets, image processing, graphs, 3D image visualization, optimization, symbolic math, natural language parsing ..etc. It also has a command line shell.

Unfortunately, it is commercial, closed source, and not exactly cheap. The language is nice for a lot of things (kind of lisp like) though and although I love open source languages and tools, Mathematica is really impressive.

There's Userland[0] which seems to be kinda similar. The demo video[1] is kinda impressive.

I'd go one step further:

Give me a full 3D context (like games use) that can handle text, image, video, 3D model rendering, and VR workspaces, with the command line as the basic mode.

If you use Emacs as your terminal, there are solutions such as EIN: https://github.com/millejoh/emacs-ipython-notebook/wiki/Scre...

I would expect it to be possible already, given that imgcat is a thing
