Results can be not only text, but things like rendered charts and images. There may be GUI-interactable rendered elements as well, but I'm unsure.

This is basically the model created by Symbolics for Dynamic Windows, which was the basis for CLIM, and which I believe they also adopted in the Symbolics distribution of MACSYMA. Kalman Reti does a great job demonstrating it under OpenGenera here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4-YnLpLgtk

(Jupyter notebooks are a derivative of Mathematica notebooks, which bear more than a passing resemblance to the Dynamic Windows stuff just like Mathematica bears more than a passing resemblance to McCarthy's "M-expressions" and the MACSYMA system…)
