> I wouldn't squirrel my documentation away in an ipynb file.

This! ipynb files are a nightmare to deal with. Fortunately, you can use jupyter without ever seeing a .ipynb file, by storing your notebooks in a different format (e.g. as programs or as markdown files). Bonus points: you'll hear fewer complains from your local graybeards if they can edit and run notebooks from their favorite text editor.

Another is that it looks like runme is written in Go instead of python. It's a single executable I can drop onto any new machine instead of futzing around getting a particular python version installed before doing any work.

I'm on the Runme team, and one of the goals of the primary goals of runme is to use a shared markdown parsing engine so that there is consistent behavior between CLI/GH Action and the VS Code Notebook.

You nailed it, thanks for calling that connection out. We were very much inspired by literate programming.
