Mathematica Notebook: Reader

He acknowledges it as a "perfect vehicle" for research because it allows typeset text and math to be interleaved with runnable code, making results easy to replicate.

Romer argues that the proprietary nature of the notebook reader (and its predecessor, the CDF Player) creates barriers to sharing. He highlights that while the reader is free, it is part of a strategy to keep users within a closed ecosystem, contrasting it with open-source alternatives like Jupyter.
