As much as I hope things like this will be a tipping point for python in the scientific community (from a major player to the dominant player), monoculture hurts everyone. Fortunately, one of the great things about ipython/jupyter is that it's designed to be language independent.
I'm sure a lot of folks here are already aware of this, but just in case you're not: There are Julia, R, Haskell, Ruby, and who-knows-what-else kernels for ipython/jupyter.
I know the basic idea has been around for a long time (e.g. Mathematica), but ipython really is an incredibly well-done and flexible execution of the idea.

Fantastic to see!!
