12/12/2021, 1:28 PMYep, this is the problem. After digging, BeakerX uses the same approach like sos-notebook (beakerX uses json, sos-notebook plain strings) and a shared variable with dynamic member feature. It works for small projects/testing, but not with big data/custom nested classes.
What do you mean with GraalVM Python?

12/13/2021, 7:12 AMThe last sos commit was seemingly in May, so it does not look too dead to me. It would be a wonderful way to mix the beauty of Kotlin for modelling with the power of R and python for analysis. Kotlin has still a long way to go to catch up here. Currently, we use rather disparate workflows to run kotlin first and then R over the data being generated.
