RIP.
Hydrogen [https://atom.io/packages/hydrogen] running on Atom is the cleanest multi-lingual data science IDE in existence and has been my go-to for years. Haven't found a drop-in replacement elsewhere [vscode's language support is scattered: native python integration, different for R, Julia etc].
Anyone on HN have recs [besides vim slime or send-to-terminal options in other editors, which work but are clunky] ?
People kept asking me why I was still using Atom, and Hydrogen was it. It doesn't seem like there's an exact equivalent in VSCode. For now, I'm just relying on sending blocks of code to the interactive Python terminal. Or using the Jupyter extension. But the former might not work with other languages and the latter requires .ipynb files which maybe you don't want to check into git.

This allows a normal editor workflow, interactive execution, and linear history of executed cells. But the code blocks can still be executed top-to-bottom and exported as a clean notebook for sharing purposes.
