Polynote is an experimental polyglot notebook environment. Currently, it supports Scala and Python (with or without Spark),

SQL, and Vega.

## Why?



Current notebook solutions, like Jupyter and Zeppelin, are lacking in some fundamental features:



- *Code editing* – the code editing capabilities in most notebook tools leave plenty to be desired. Why can't a notebook

  tool have modern editing capabilities like those you'd find in an IDE? Polynote provides useful autocomplete,

  parameter hints, and more – we're planning to add even more features, like jump-to-definition.

- *Text editing* – you can use the WYSIWYG editor for composing text cells, so you'll know what the text will look like as

  you're writing. TeX equations are also supported.

- *Multi-language support* – Polynote allows you to mix multiple languages in one notebook, while sharing definitions

  seamlessly between them.

- *Runtime insight* – Polynote tries to keep you informed of what's going on at runtime:

    - The tasks area shows you what the kernel is doing at any given time.

    - The symbol table shows you what variables and functions you've defined, so you don't have to scroll around to remind yourself.

    - Compile failures and runtime exceptions are highlighted in the editor (for supported languages), so you can see exactly what's going wrong.
