IIRC there was a discussion in this list a year ago.
The main point is that the kernel has some limitations since it uses the
generic metakernel framework and thus it has some limitations that could be
solved with a more integrated kernel. That was acknowledge by the Calysto
developers.
One of the issues that I remember was, for example, the possibility of having
pretty printing. I remember in particular the tablicious package. It would be
nice to have a pretty table representation instead of the ascii one.
We can see that for example with the equivalent pandas tables in python. When
you return as pandas object (the equivalent of a table in octave) we get a
nice representation.
So even if a jupyter kernel exists a better integration would be nice.
