Thanks for the shoutout!

We're committed to having an excellent experience for working with expensive notebooks [1]. At least for my own personal work, I find that there are many reasons to use marimo even when autorun is disabled — you still get guarantees on state, rich dataframe views, reusable functions [2], the Python file format, and more. If you have feedback on how we might improve the experience, we'd love to hear it.

I haven’t tried marimo, so I’m not sure how it currently works, but I think instead of disabling autorun for slow and expensive computations, it sounds like it would be nicer if there were heuristics or benchmarks to automatically determine what might be slow and then execute things in varying orders lazily.
