## What it is
Molten is a Neovim plugin for interactively running code with Jupyter kernels, providing a REPL-like and notebook-like experience inside the editor. It is a fork of magma-nvim with improved image rendering, performance, and features like ipynb import/export.

## Use cases
- run code interactively with a jupyter kernel inside neovim
- display plots and images inline while coding in neovim
- edit and run jupyter notebook cells without leaving the editor
- send code from multiple buffers to a shared kernel
- import and export outputs to and from ipynb files
- use a REPL-like workflow for data science in neovim

## When to choose
- you use Neovim and want a notebook or REPL experience with Jupyter kernels
- you want inline rendering of plots, images, and LaTeX in your editor
- you need to work with ipynb files while staying in Neovim

## When to avoid
- you don't use Neovim
- you need a full standalone notebook UI like JupyterLab
- your language has no Jupyter kernel

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: active
- function: plugin-system, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, data-science, text-editors
- platform: windows, python
- tags: neovim, jupyter, repl, code-runner, notebook, nvim-plugin, linux, macos
