#22I would've enjoyed trying this out but the subscription fee is an immediate turn off.
My biggest concern with this project is expertise and potential burn-out. There's a lot of writing from scratch that really begs to go through the gauntlet of open source.

Thanks for sharing.
The OP posted a cool project, but 20$ a month for a nice VS code fork is absurd. Plus it's Mac only now.

#24Does anyone know the name of the typeface/font used in the example images?
Looks like JetBrains Mono.

#26Fantastic product and props to the creator on it! Though Mac only and a subscription price of this magnitude for an IDE is a hard sell, given the availability of other options, which aren't neccesarily $20 a month worse. Never the less I'll keep my eye on this project.

#28Earlier quoted context omitted.
Coincidentally, one of the first components I wrote for Scripton was a virtualized table for handling million+ row dataframes with Tufte-esque inline visualizations (in a much evolved form, it currently backs the REPL). The data table got deferred to focus on the visualization bits for the initial release, but it's definitely planned!
Did you write your own table? Million+ row handling is nice. Once I figured out window based display of tables, documentation and a bunch of other pieces of architecture became simpler. Previously I sent the whole dataset or a sample of it. -- Is Scripton user extendable? Do you expect ipywidgets/anywidgets based projects to plug in?
Yup, it was written from scratch. Yeah, having a flexible virtualized table certainly makes it easier to build more complex things on top (a lesson I initially learned from NSTableView/UITableView).
Currently, it's not user extendable. While it does support some IPython features (eg: Python classes that implement IPython's rich outputs also work in Scripton), ipywidgets are currently not supported.

#29The price doesn't make sense in conjunction with PyCharm's pricing IMO.

The vscode extensions path, unfortunately, would have been too restrictive for many of Scripton's features/technical requirements (tightly coupled REPL, minimal IPC overhead, ...)
