The article is about a new library that lets you write kernels in C++.&lt;p&gt;There is however a kernel for C++ that you can try here: &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;mybinder.org&amp;#x2F;v2&amp;#x2F;gh&amp;#x2F;QuantStack&amp;#x2F;xeus-cling&amp;#x2F;stable?filepath=notebooks&amp;#x2F;xcpp.ipynb&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;mybinder.org&amp;#x2F;v2&amp;#x2F;gh&amp;#x2F;QuantStack&amp;#x2F;xeus-cling&amp;#x2F;stable?file...&lt;/a&gt; if interpreted C++ is your thing :)</text></comment>

We wrote a Common Lisp kernel for Clasp (Common Lisp system that interoperates with C++ and uses LLVM as the backend -&lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;github.com&amp;#x2F;clasp-developers&amp;#x2F;clasp&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;github.com&amp;#x2F;clasp-developers&amp;#x2F;clasp&lt;/a&gt;)
We implemented ipykernel and ipywidgets in Common Lisp by translating the Python code.  I think we could switch to Xeus and lower the maintenance burden and contribute to Xeus.</text></comment>
