[IPython-dev] Parallel support for external wrapperkernels in master?

[MinRK]

There aren't currently plans to make IPython.parallel language agnostic (it
will remain an IPython project, not a Jupyter one), because it doesn't make
much sense if the Client and Kernel aren't in the same language, so making
a kernel available from a new language should also mean writing a new
Client object in order for it to be useful.  This is distinctly different
from the regular kernel-client relationship, which mostly talk
code-as-text, which doesn't require the frontend to know much about the
kernel. IPython.parallel talks code-as-code (pickle), because it's meant
for interacting with actual results, rather than just their representation.
