Re: interest for PARI/GP Jupyter notebook ?

I started using pari-jupyter two months ago, and immediately switched to
Edgar's version because I had problems with the main pari-jupyter
(I do not remember precisely the issues, maybe it was slow or did not
support threads). I also think a xeus version would be nice.
Anyway I think I will use it on a regular basis now and could provide
feedback from myself and from students, and a bit of testing.
