Hi all,
 I’m still thinking  that Jupyter is the way to go (at least in this moment) 
to support many different computational cores reliably. I’ve started a 
jupyter client for texmacs which is really quite simple: I just hacked the 
standard python code for the jupyter shell to interface it to the TeXmacs 
protocol. Seems to work nicely, but many tunings and feature implementation 
are needed. I’m not so proficient in Python but I was able to hack on it 
quite fast. So maybe one would like to give a try. 

Having a reliable jupyter client means having strong and featurefull clients 
to many systems. And then we could also consider converting back and forth to 
Jupyter notebooks.

Best
Max
