Just landed R cells in Notebook Kit 1.5! I’ll release Desktop soon…

You can also import a browser-compatible bundle from the CDN as cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@observa... and for the runtime API cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@observa...

And ya, it’s been a minute (or 214 days) since the last Plot release. We’ll get back to soon and ship a 1.0 release. Been busy between Canvases and Notebooks 2.0.

If we keep adding languages, we’re gonna need a bigger cell menu…

It isn’t much work to support R/Rscript data loader cells (at least if you don’t mind a lack of syntax highlighting)… we’ll get to it soon. github.com/observablehq...

Exciting to see what you’ve put together. Thank you for sharing!

Yes, we plan on adding more interpreters. You can upvote this issue to voice support: github.com/observablehq...

Wow! Very cool. Love that you are including the notebooks in the download to encourage exploration.

I would love to see that! We’re not using Arrow yet to serialize the results (instead using JSON array-of-objects, mostly because it’s easy), but I’m planning on switching to Arrow tables in memory and possibly Parquet for files in the future.

Wow, that was fast. 🏎️💨 Nice work! Also a tip: SQL cells declare their own DatabaseClient internally when you use the database attribute (unless you set it to something like `var:db`) so no need to declare one in JavaScript unless you want to use it in JavaScript.

This release additionally includes a handful of bug fixes and new Notebook Kit APIs. Thank you for the feedback and contributions! github.com/observablehq...

We’ve also been building Observable Canvases which is a more visual, cross-functional, collaborative medium for data analysis and dashboarding. observablehq.com/platform/can...

In Observable’s case we’ve been working on Notebooks 2.0 which incorporates many of the ideas of Framework back into notebooks. observablehq.com/notebook-kit/
