Reviewer scorecard
“Still the most used JS testing framework. Massive ecosystem of matchers, plugins, and documentation.”
“Reactive execution eliminates the biggest Jupyter pain point — hidden state. Cells re-run when dependencies change.”
“Vitest does everything Jest does faster with better ESM support. New projects should start with Vitest.”
“Finally, a Python notebook that doesn't produce unreproducible results. The reactive model is correct.”
“Jest defined modern JS testing but Vitest is the future. The migration is happening steadily.”
“Marimo proves that notebooks can be reproducible. The deployment as web apps extends their utility.”
