Supported features:

  • tab-completion (both for variables and paths)
  • error reporting
  • magics! The available extensions can be configured via package/config.js

Installation

node install.js [install-dir] will install the kernel.json file that ipython looks for. The default is for linux machines, ~/.ipython/kernels/nodejs/. You will have to specify an install dir for Mac and Windows (see the docs for info about what that should be)

BabelJS Magic for es6+ goodness

%load_ext babel and then

%%babel
class Awesome {
  constructor() {
    console.log('yeah!')
  }
}

Hovever: import ... syntax doesn't work because of live bindings foo, so just use require() normally and all will be well.

Clojurescript compilation via a himera server

%load_ext clojurescript http://himera-emh.herokuapp.com and then

%%clojurescript
(clojurey goodness)
