Also worth noting: Hydrogen, the Jupyter plugin for Atom[1][2].

Hydrogen is a fantastically well-executed and useful piece of software. (As is Jupyter.) I’ve used it in my own programming, and also in teaching introductory software development, where it’s a helpful transition from Jupyter notebooks (which are used in the early part of the course, for problem sets / reading journals) to text files and code editors (which are introduced later, and used for team projects, and for projects that use Flask or PyGame).

But also — relevant to this sub-thread — “Hydrogen” (it relates “Jupyter” to “Atom”) has to be one of the best project names ever. It’s right up there with “Pyramid Scheme”[3].

ahurmazda pointed out that you're thinking of 'Jupyter Python R'. And this is a reference, not an 'equals'.

The name is also in homage to Galileo's notebooks recording the discovery of the moons of Jupiter (the four we now call the 'Galilean moons'), and also to a bar called Jupiter in Berkeley, which the core team has visited quite often. The last one's more like a funny coincidence, though.

That Quasar beer at Jupiter... Honestly, all the beer at Jupiter. Mmmmm.

Julia Python R

Is it pronounced jupeeter or jupieter?

And is NumPy "Numb Pie" or does it rhyme with "lumpy"? (My apologies to everyone who will picture something lumpy next time they're doing a bunch of math).

I've always heard "Numb Pie"

It think it's pronounced numpy...

That said, I've always rhymed it with lumpy, haha

In conference talks, most people (including NumPy's creators) pronounce it "numb pie".

I pronounce it like the planet, and everyone else I've met in Jupyter leadership (including Fernando and Brian) also pronounce it like the planet.

I just pronounce it the same as the planet Jupiter.

Oh, I say the Py part as in Python... Is it wrong?

Yes. The creators pronounce it exactly like "Jupiter", where the unstressed middle "i" vowel becomes a schwa.

Fernando Perez says "Jupiter". It's his baby, "Jupiter" it is.

Like the planet
