Hello,

I’m happy to announce the first beta release of Guix-Jupyter, a kernel
that allows users to annotate their notebooks with the list of software
dependencies the notebook requires, and have them deployed in a
reproducible fashion through GNU Guix:

As I wrote in this post, we’re more familiar with Guix than with Jupyter
and we’d very much welcome your feedback on this approach!

Thanks,
Ludo’.

That is a *very* interesting approach to a tricky problem many people encounter, and you solution looks very well thought out and executed. Thanks for sharing!

Yes, thanks for sharing - I found the ability to switch kernels inline as the Notebook progresses to be particularly interesting. The code handling the kernel spawning and proxying is a very good reference for me, as I'm investigating a related problem. Nice work!

Cheers,
Another Jason
