After some light testing, this seems to work really well. I've had issues with other Javascript kernels for Jupyter and I personally don't care for the UX of Observable, so this is exciting.

Pretty neat. But seems to lack Quokka (https://quokkajs.com/) ease of use at the moment.

I'm a huge fan of Don Jayamanne. He also made the original python extension for vscode.

I always wondered why no one made a better node.js repl. I wish there was something like ipython for nodejs.

There's a jupyter kernel for node, several of them actually. https://github.com/jupyter/jupyter/wiki/Jupyter-kernels This is probably the one you want to check out: https://github.com/n-riesco/ijavascript There's one built specifically for typescript evaluation too.

Out of curiosity: what is it about Observable that you don’t care for?

https://github.com/nteract/nteract has a somewhat Jupyter-like Node.js Kernel

This might not be exactly what you’re after, but it’s close.

Nothing huge, just don't personally care for evaluated output above the cell. Kinda breaks all the conventions of the command line, Jupyter, etc. Not that I couldn't get used to it, but originally Observable output below the cell but then switched in some update and I never really went back. Such a minor little pet peeve, I know.
