Just a general comment, but in my opinion IPython/Jupyter is worth learning Python for. It is such a great platform for tinkering with data or really any idea you might play with in code.

The notebooks support a very large number of kernels, including Julia, R, bash, Lua, Erlang, Perl, OCaml, and so many more[1].

And in case you were wondering, GitHub does render notebooks using other language kernels. For example, here's a notebook in Haskell: https://github.com/gibiansky/IHaskell/blob/master/notebooks/...

I would like to also make note you can use any of the other languages that Juypter supports. I am using R right now and it works, but it isn't as useful as RStudio.

I am guessing that the Juypter notebook format might get traction with other projects besides Jetbeans.
