Run jupyter with kernel other than python

See original GitHub issue

Environment data

VS Code version: 1.32.3
Extension version (available under the Extensions sidebar): MS Python 2019.3.6352
OS and version: Ubuntu 16.04
Python version (& distribution if applicable, e.g. Anaconda): python 3.5.2 (also tried anaconda)
Type of virtual environment used (N/A | venv | virtualenv | conda | …): N/A also tried conda, both failed.
Relevant/affected Python packages and their versions: jupyter 4.4.0

Expected behaviour

The notebook runs the same as it does when I run it from the browser.

Actual behaviour

The installed kernel is not found and I get errors that indicate a “straight python” kernel was used.

Steps to reproduce:

install almond.sh https://almond.sh/docs/quick-start-install
cd almond/examples and launch juptyer, % jupyter notebook plotly_scala.ipynb
copy the uri link that the notebook launch printed out
launch vscode in that directory
select the jupyter uri that the notebook launch supplied
import the plotly_scala.ipynb notebook into vscode
try executing cells until you hit the $ivy

Result: SyntaxError: invalid syntax

@langley. Yeah, that’s the case for now, even if you start an external server. I hate having to say that, as we really want to support more of the various language kernels. But we started out with a Python focus and we still are pretty locked into that for the near future. Polyglot support is coming, but it won’t be right away.

Also excited for polyglot support. Not only for data science – being able to use VSCode as a general-purpose repl in Node, Ruby, etc would be really delightful, and could make the editor a much more integral part of developers’ workflows.
