Graph from GitHub’s Octoverse 2024 report showing a spike in utilization of Jupyter Notebooks across GitHub. This is calculated by looking at the distinct number of public repositories with at least one Jupyter Notebook by the year the repository was created. Since 2016, we have seen this number surge from near zero to more than 1.5 million repositories using Jupyter Notebooks.

Almost more significant than the success of #Python is the growth of #Jupyter #Notebooks: “Data scientists and machine learning researchers commonly use the #OpenSource application for #MachineLearning, #DataViz, and more.”
