Quarto either runs on the knitr engine and uses reticulate under the hood or it runs on the jupyter engine with rpy2. It’s nice when you want to showcase how do do something with either one of the two languages in say a blog post.

Afaik if there are multiple languages in the same quarto doc, then knitr does all the work by invoking reticulate (Python) or JuliaCall (Julia) and collecting results afterwards. The reason is that there can only be one engine per document.

I assumed it was literal magic under the hood, but this makes more sense😆
