Hyperquery vs Polynote
Comparing two data science notebooks.
Hyperquery
Polynote
Hyperquery is a data notebook that enables you to easily build shareable analyses in SQL and Python.
Polynote is a different kind of notebook. It supports mixing multiple languages in one notebook, and sharing data between them seamlessly. It encourages reproducible notebooks with its immutable data model.
