Why not JupyterLite? #223

Closed MRYingLEE closed 12 months ago

MRYingLEE commented 12 months ago

JupyterLite is much lighter than The Littlest JupyterHub.

Just curious, why doesn't plasma use JupyterLite instead?

For e-learning purposes, JupyterLite should be good enough to support limited packages.

Dear @MRYingLEE

Thank you for your feedbacks. Plasma is used in a large variety of courses, ranging from Python programming to genomics data analysis and processing. Some courses require Python or R packages that are not yet supported by JupyterLite, hence the need for TLJH in addition to specific packages.
