All the Ammonite niceties
All the Ammonite niceties
Almond wraps Ammonite in a Jupyter kernel, giving you all the features and niceties of Ammonite, including customizable pretty-printing, magic imports, advanced dependency handling, its API, right from Jupyter.
This also makes it easy to copy some code from notebooks to Ammonite scripts, and vice versa.
