 > ## Kernels
-> According to the JupyterLab [docs](https://jupyterlab.readthedocs.io/en/stable/user/documents_kernels.html),
-> kernels are "separate processes started by the server that run your code in different programming languages and environments."
-> When we open a Jupyter Notebook, that starts a kernel - a process - that is going to run the code. It's also possible to
-> connect a text file to a kernel, so we can run code interactively in the kernel.

+> In this lesson, we'll be using the Jupyter ipython kernel which lets us run Python 3 code interactively.

+> Using other Jupyter [kernels for other programming languages](https://github.com/jupyter/jupyter/wiki/Jupyter-kernels) would let us 
+> write and execute code in other programming languages in the same JupyterLab interface, like R, Java, Julia, Ruby, JavaScript, Fortran, 
+> etc.
