## Health v2 (maintenance only)
Score: 23/100 (v2, computed 2026-09-03T02:20:16.233290+00:00)
- activity 0, release rhythm 8, longevity 100
- inputs: {"age_days": 4656, "days_push": 1004, "days_rel": null, "gap_med": null, "n_releases_24m": 0}
- flags: none
- formula: round(0.45*activity + 0.35*rhythm + 0.20*longevity); archived -> min(score, 10)

## What it is
BeakerX is a collection of JVM kernels (Groovy, Scala, Clojure, Kotlin, Java, SQL) and interactive widgets for Jupyter Notebook and Jupyter Lab. It adds polyglot magics with autotranslation, interactive plotting and table widgets, and Apache Spark integration.

## Use cases
- run groovy or scala in jupyter notebook
- use jvm languages as jupyter kernels
- polyglot notebook with autotranslation between languages
- interactive time-series plotting in jupyter
- interactive table widget for pandas dataframes
- spark integration with gui in jupyter
- run java or kotlin notebooks

## When to avoid
- you only need Python in Jupyter - stock kernels suffice
- you need Jupyter Lab 3+ or newer versions, as BeakerX targets 1.2.x and 2.x
- you need actively developed software with recent feature work
- you prefer lightweight setups without conda/docker dependencies

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: maintenance
- function: data-visualization, interpreter, ui-components, sdk
- domain: data-science, developer-tools, data-visualization, cross-platform
- platform: python, jvm, cross-platform
- tags: jupyter, jupyterlab, kernels, groovy, scala, clojure, kotlin, java, sql, spark, polyglot, autotranslation, interactive-widgets, notebook-extensions, docker, web-server
