Hey Sam! Thanks for writing this up, I find it quite fascinating! I was curious what is the state of the project these days? 🙂 Did you ever get any traction on prototyping this in Roam?

Hi Sam,

a very interesting project that's on my list of work to follow. Looking forward to playing with your prototype when it's ready! I'll also have a closer look at the Clojure port of SICM which I hadn't seen before. SICM seriously suffers from being trapped in a near-obsolete Scheme dialect.

I have been thinking along the same lines as you for a while, moving on from the single-page notebook to a Wiki-like document, and integrating Knuth-style literate programming for code with notebook-style literate programming for computations (which is not quite the same). My prototype is [here](https://github.com/activepapers/activepapers-pharo), with motivation/documentatio in [two](http://blog.khinsen.net/posts/2019/02/11/the-computational-notebook-of-the-future/) [blog posts](https://blog.khinsen.net/posts/2019/05/09/the-computational-notebook-of-the-future-part-2/) and a [workshop paper](https://hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/hal-02533110).
