I would like something like make for notebook cells inside a repl.
I would write the notebook in my text editor (not in a web form) execute "reload" in the repl, execute the cells that have been changed and render the webpage. The output should be a complete self contained html file with everything else embeded and of course not a single line of javascript.
BTW I'm pretty sure that this is exactly what Sweave is. You write in a text editor, and then invoke a batch process to generate an HTML file with mixed code and data.
Wikipedia says it does incremental rebuilding, which was news to me. I've never used it, but I know a lot of R users who use it.
