What the fuck is this magic, and how did I not know about this? I've been looking so long for something like this... Does it exist for scala? Java? This is amazing!!!
If there is a Java/Scala kernel for Jupyter, then Yes. Even if not, we managed to get RStudio to work on that so there is hope for <your preferred environment>. I would reach out to github.com/jupyterhub/binderhub (you can say I redirected you there, same username on GH) the R support was prototyped a few weeks ago at a free workshop we ran. We'll be really happy to get Java/Scala people to contribute and invite them if we can do another workshop.
