Not really? Wouldn’t the streamlit app/notebook/editor experience compliment the snowflake data warehousing solutions well?

#5Very cool.
A few months ago I tried building a configuration manager for robusta.dev using streamlit.
Basically I wanted to autogenerate a frontend for arbitrary Pydantic models (in my case configurations of Kubernetes automations). The tooling was still lacking so I abandoned the project, but it was really cool just how far I could get with writing almost no code. A way better experience than all the no code tools IMO

I'm knee deep in the data tooling space myself and it's quirky at first but not too surprising.
This resembles the Google Cloud acquisition of Kaggle, or Microsoft's acquisition of Github. For better or for worse, these larger players / platforms are buying a large community around the hip tool. Snowflake wants to be a giant data platform company, not just "another data warehouse".

Does this compete with or complement their Snowpark feature?

Yeah it definitely would. Historically, to OP's hesitation, databases & data warehouses haven't purchased BI tools, application layers, etc. But this is starting to change (e.g. Databricks bought Redash, an open source BI platform)

No stranger than Confluence acquiring Chartio. Snowflake has been making some interesting ventures and investments (eg Sigma Computing).
As a user of data tooling, bundling data pipelining, cloud warehousing, visualization, and MLOPs into a consistent environment is helpful and lowers tooling cost. Streamlit is frankly fantastic and one of my personal favorite tools.
