Hi Luke,
It seems like a good idea to me. I'm implementing an outliner+notebook
alike interface for integrating interactive documentation, data
visualization and exploratory computing, called Grafoscopio [1]
(available from the Pharo Catalog) and would be really nice to have
something like the Jupyter[2] kernels talking with several languages,
supported in the playgrounds. That would be a good start to increase the
diversity of languages supported in interactive documents

[2] http://jupyter.org/
Welcome and let me know if this idea of multilingual (code & prose)
interactive documents rings a bell for you.
Cheers,
Offray
PS:
By the way, Ben, if you're reading this, my migration of Grafoscopio to
the Spec+Glamour interface is going well and now you can test the
notebooks. I'm open to feedback.
Next week we will start our 7th edition of our Data Week hackathon +
workshop, this time for intermediate level apprentices, that have the
experience with previous Data Weeks.

Howdy,
I am interested in building a Lua IDE using the Glamorous Toolkit. The
idea is that the Playground, the Inspector, the Spotter, and the
Debugger would all be interacting with an external Lua process instead
of running code in the Pharo image. The "under the hood" part of Pharo
- Smalltalk code - would be hidden unless specially enabled.
Good or bad idea? Any tips on how to approach this? Has something
similar been done before? (Is there example code available?)
Cheers,
-Luke
