A Deep Dive into the Future of Integrated Development Environments: Google Colab

In early 2018, Google launched their highly anticipated IDE: Google Colaboratory. Its fairly recent launch makes it the newest major IDE on the market. It does not require any installation, and running from the google drive on a web browser, it comes pre-installed with many popular libraries such as PyTorch, Tensorflow, and Keras. Importing unique libraries is also simple, as!pip is already installed, making the complicated activation of a terminal obsolete. Google Colab is also linked to the Google Drive, meaning it is saved onto the cloud.
