Flint: A Visualization Language for the AI Era | Hacker News

A Hacker News thread spotlighted Flint, a new visualization language aimed at AI-era charting.

The discussion largely concluded that ggplot is still the strongest charting API.

ggplot was praised for its Grammar of Graphics approach, chart aesthetics, and text rendering.

Older charting libraries in Python and JavaScript were criticized as more limited in expressiveness and quality.
