The long-term goal of this plugin is to provide notebook-like interaction with interpreted languages similar to Mathematica or Jupyter (within the limits of a text editor like vim).

Features

Run an interpreter as an inferior process.
Send code to this process (asynchronously without blocking vim).
Insert (or dynamically update) the results into the source code (as commented out block below the respective source code). See also g:workbook#insert_results_in_buffer.
Transcribe the interaction with the interpreter.
Provide code completion (see 'omnifunc') for some filetypes.

How to use this plugin

Open a file with a supported filetype (see below or workbook#GetSupportedFiletypes()).
Type :Workbook or add the filetype to g:workbook_autosetup_filetypes to automatically enable the workbook mode for the specified filetypes.
Press <c-cr> to evaluate the current paragraph.
Press <localleader>w<F1> for help on other commands and maps -- see also workbook#SetupBuffer().

The following filetypes are supported well

R (supports code completion)
Rmd (same as R)

Experimental/basic support is provided for:

fsharp
javascript
python
ruby
scala
sh (default: bash)
vim

Currenty, the main use case is to interact with R. Other than other well-known R-related vim plugins, the workbook plugin has no non-vim dependencies and works at least on Linux and Windows with no problems.
