Sounds like they fixed a bunch of things that are broken about Jupyter notebooks. I still don't understand why anyone would want to do work in their browser though.

would be curious what Jupyter notebooks things are better with Pluto.jl, can you name some concrete points?

1. Dependency graph for cells, letting it automatically rerun what's needed when you change one. This keeps everything up to date.

2. git-friendly.

In addition to what celrod said: Jupyter doesn't have an equivalent of Pluto's @bind macro, does it?

It's not as elegant but kinda exists

Thank you! I hadn't seen that.

Really happy to see that the good ideas from Observable notebooks are being copied elsewhere. I don't use Julia myself at the moment (although I think it's a beautiful language), but I know some people who will be very happy with this! Also, the playful enthusiasm in the presentation video linked in the description just makes me smile:
