## What it is
GoNB is a Jupyter notebook kernel for the Go programming language that compiles each cell with the standard Go compiler. It supports auto-complete, rich display (HTML, markdown, images, widgets), Plotly/ECharts integration, and works with go.mod, go.work, and debugging tools.

## Use cases
- run go code in jupyter notebooks
- interactive go data science notebook kernel
- jupyter kernel for golang with autocomplete
- plot charts from go in a notebook
- prototype go code cell by cell
- use go with colab or vscode notebooks

## When to choose
- you want to do interactive data science or exploration in Go inside Jupyter
- you need full compatibility with the standard Go toolchain including CGO and go.mod
- you want rich notebook output like plots, widgets, and markdown with latex

## When to avoid
- you primarily work in Python and just need a Python kernel
- you need an interpreted REPL with instant execution rather than per-cell compilation
- you need a production deployment tool rather than an interactive notebook environment

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: interpreter, developer-tools, data-visualization, testing
- domain: data-science, developer-tools, programming-languages, education
- platform: go, windows, cross-platform
- tags: jupyter, jupyter-kernel, notebook, golang, interactive-computing, repl, data-science, linux, macos
