Almond is a Scala kernel for Jupyter, formerly known as jupyter-scala. It wraps the Ammonite Scala REPL with Jupyter integration, offering Spark support, plotting library integration, and libraries for writing custom Jupyter kernels in Scala.

Use cases

• run Scala code in Jupyter notebooks
• use Spark from a Jupyter notebook
• get an interactive Scala REPL with dependency handling
• write custom Jupyter kernels in Scala
• plot data from Scala notebooks with plotly or Vegas
• try Scala in the browser or via Docker

When to choose

• you want to do Scala-based data science or big data work in Jupyter
• you want Ammonite features like magic imports and pretty-printing in notebooks
• you need to prototype Spark jobs interactively
• you want to build a Jupyter kernel for another JVM language

When to avoid

• you need a JVM-free environment since a JVM is required
• you only need Python notebooks
• you need a kernel for a non-JVM language without writing custom kernel code
