Hi there, I'm giving this talk https://www.casus.science/events/casus-institute-seminar-bringing-data-automation-and-modelling-together-with-kotlin-by-holger-brandl/ next week in collaboration with @elect. I'd love to include some interactive tutorial part, where I would love to use https://play.kotlinlang.org/ in conjunction with one additional dependency:
implementation "com.github.holgerbrandl:kalasim:0.6.90"
. Is this possible, could you maybe help/support me with the setup?
a
I am not sure play is good for that. I had very good experience with https://datalore.jetbrains.com/ (already showed it on casus seminars last time I was there. You can use all jupyter plugins.
It works as legacy jupyter notebook but could be shared in real time with all participants via link.
I am actually going to use both DataLore and Jupyter as a starting platform for Kotlin course next semester.
h
Can I share a link to a datalore instance with the participants? I thought it's all personalized?
a
Nope, you can share the live link and you can publish the notebook so it is accessible to anybody.
I think the number of editors is limited, but the number of observers is not.
It is pretty awesome especially that we can use all our plugins for jupyter. For example plotly requires only switching to legacy mode. See my exercise from yesterday: public shared link: https://datalore.jetbrains.com/view/notebook/wr9C8wqmehowEVRWxtiS9Q live link: https://datalore.jetbrains.com/notebook/ptQDfQAcrjNxzIO0AEqovZ/JQ6dpIzMLJMbwhRPoHfZP3/

Ok, but then it's not much different from a screen-share. I was hoping to do a hand-on session.
a
They can clone your publically shared notebook. You can see the button at the first link
h
Also, datalore seems not working for me (No license found, please contact support at contact@datalore.jetbrains.com). It fails to create notebooks for me.
a
You usually do not need a licence for starter version. It is possible that your temporary advanced version timed out.
h
Ah, cloning sounds great.
a
h
Are there some datalore colleagues in slack or do I need to use the email to get support here?
a
No, DataLore is a bit of a separate entity. They even do not share JetBrains youtrack. It is better to contact them directly. They are very friendly.
Rolan even got access to advanced GPU kernel, but they require an interview for that.
h
A simple virtualized single core would be sufficient for my session. :-)
a
For me as well. But he wants to work with GPUs. DataLore still lacks inline KDoc (same goes for Jupyter), but otherwise it is really nice.
My previous seminar on coroutines by the way:

Thanks Alexander, I've sent a support request to their email.
