IPython notebooks have gone multi language:

I think Julia was one of the early alternate languages.

Indeed, the "Ju" in "Jupyter" is for Julia!

Out of curiosity, can you have multiple languages in one notebook with the output of one cell, in say Python, be input for a second cell in Julia or R? (emacs org-Babel allows for this -- a feature I use often.)

I just googled it, I don't know a lot about Jupyter, but yes:

Yes, most easily through so-called "cell magics".

To some extent - yes. E.g. you can run R in a Python notebook; just each R cell need to be started with '%%R' (and one need to load rpy2).

See e.g. https://github.com/DELabUW/szkola-letnia-2015/blob/master/za...

Beaker notebook [1] seems to do precisely that, though I have yet to use it in practice.
