Pluto.jl is an educational programming environment for Julia, designed to make scientific computing more accessible and fun! Our strong points are interactivity (notebooks are reactive, cells run automatically like a spreadsheet) and reproducibility (automatic package manager, notebooks include a reproducible package environment by default). Pluto was designed from the start to be used for education with the Julia programming language, developed alongside the course Computational Thinking at MIT.

In this talk, you get to see some of the core features of Pluto, but also some lesser-known experimental features. I also want to discuss Pluto's future, and look back at inspirational work from Jupyter (Python) and Observable (JavaScript). Come find me later during the break to hear my unfiltered opinion about Julia's future!
