I love the feature of ipython_mode, but I disagree with its name because:

  • The feature is less related to IPython.
  • I feel like there's not enough respect for our ancestors who developed Mathematica.

Fortunately, it's before the release of Julia v1.9, and I think it's a good opportunity to reconsider the name.

Reactions to my proposal for the renaming seem positive on Slack.

If IPython mode is too strong, then softening it to e.h. ipython_prompt feels ok (since this is clearly not emulating the full IPyhton REPL experience). The suggested numbered_mode feels very bland.

Why not notebook_mode?

Because that makes it sounds like it provides some notebook functionality. As I said before, I do think the mode term is a bit too broad. notebook_prompt miiight be ok.

I think numbered_prompt is the current best choice, so I have updated this PR.

💯 This is much better; the current name makes it sound like there is some kind of full IPython emulation, or that it will actually run IPython, or something. And IPython is not even called that anymore 😉
