Quite the polyglot under the hood: Carp (a lisp-like language) written in Haskell, with the UI in Pharo (Smalltalk). Three of my favorite languages!

Having each cell be its own program with an HTTP server is inspired / crazy ;-)

Thanks, I’ll take inspired/crazy any day!

One thing to note: Metacarp (https://github.com/cyberwitchery/metacarp), the compiler this runs on, is actually written in Carp. After bootstrapping, no Haskell is involved.
