Almond already supports code navigation in dependencies via meta browse, paving the way for more IDE-like features and closer integration with the Scalameta ecosystem. Ammonite is a modern and user-friendly Scala shell. Almond wraps it in a Jupyter kernel, giving you all its features and niceties, including customizable pretty-printing, magic imports, advanced dependency handling, and its API, right from Jupyter. This also makes it easy to copy some code from notebooks to Ammonite scripts, and vice versa. Almond exposes APIs to interact with Jupyter front-ends. Call them from notebooks… or from your own libraries. Several plotting libraries are already available to plot things from notebooks, such as plotly-scala or Vegas. Load the Spark version of your choice, create a Spark session, and start using it from your notebooks.
