Console’s review

· Reviewed by David Mytton

What we like

A combo of Wolfram + Emacs to provide a canvas for exploring APIs, manipulating data, taking notes, and programming. Feels like Jupyter Notebooks with modules and code snippets, but with many more options. Everything is stored on the filesystem.

Tradeoffs

Daunting to get started, even with the detailed handbook. Should everything be in a single system vs better, individual tools for the job?
