Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
A commenter linked a post on evcxr, a notebook-based Rust environment, as a source, and said notebooks suit statically typed languages better than REPLs. The post itself is not judged.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
A blog about a programming language refusing to stay in its lane.

What Hacker News says?
The latest TWIR development summary mentions evcxr, a notebook-based environment for Rust that's currently being worked on, link https://blog.abor.dev/p/evcxr Notebooks work better than raw REPL's for a language that's so heavily based on static typing, but they're idiomatically quite similar.
