A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

Hey <@U0CHHN4F4> &amp; <@U0926QHA6>, I’m presenting about Kotlin and Data Science next week at a Kotlin Night in Frankfurt, and I thought about including some slides about the kotlin kernel for jupyter. Unfortunately, it is in a rather broken state at the moment because of a dependency issue (see <https://github.com/ligee/kotlin-jupyter/issues/15>). Do you think there’s any chance that you could have a look, or guide me concerning a fix?

Have you tried BeakerX? <http://beakerx.com/>

I managed to get Kotlin kernel to work. It lacks autocompletion and some other features though, so I wouldn't say it's "production-ready".

<@U4ZJQNP1S> Thanks for the pointer. I heard about beaker, but now about beakerx yet. It looks very promising.

What I could not find in the docs yet, is a way to load in maven dependencies. Is this possible?

For example, I’ve created a display adapter under <https://github.com/holgerbrandl/krangl/blob/master/examples/beakerx/src/main/java/krangl/beakerx/TableDisplayer.java> but I’m unsure how to actually use it.

Or `%classpath add mvn com.group lib-name 1.0.0`

<@U16CM33AB> <https://github.com/twosigma/beakerx/tree/master/doc>

Thanks, the jar downloading progress is very nice. However, it does not seem to support local maven nor jcenter yet, correct?

Not sure, I only gave it a try once. I'm used to first-class Python support in Jupyter, so Kotlin just doesn't work for me there. When I'm working with Kotlin, I do it _precisely_ for the better tooling support.

<@U16CM33AB> You're trying to make a pretty table display comparable to Pandas in Jupyter, aren't you?

I have to try out your project some time. BTW, I suggest rewriting the huge examples code block to code-&gt;output block pairs.

yep I do. I’ve seen a similar adapter for jtablesaw, and the beakerx API looked easy enough to give it try.

Make it easy to style with CSS, please. (If possible.)

I was trying to change style of Pandas tables when I used a Jupyter extension to make an interactive presentation and I remember it being a pain.

I was actually hoping for an existing widget impl for which I just have to provide data-bindings…

It makes sense, but if there's anything you can do to make it easier to style (possibly with actual static-typed settings rather than some hidden string properties), I'd appreciate that.
