Link parkin’: marimo + quarto
This repository provides a framework for integrating Quarto with marimo, enabling markdown documents to be executed in a marimo environment, and reactive in page.
Previously I’ve written about how marimo is an interesting project that’s advancing the state of the art in the Python computational notebook space. One of quarto’s claims to fame is straightforward incorporation of Jupyter notebooks in scientific publishing. As I’m getting up to speed with quarto, I ventured out to see how well marimo was integrated.
After giving it a quick test drive, the linked extension looks promising, but is a tad glitchy. Apparently a JavaScript support library for marimo that’s a few point releases behind main is necessary to get embedded interactivity working. Not that I desperately need that feature, but it’s mildly annoying.
If the extension sees continued support and improvement, I’ll be putting it to good use.
