Wonderful demonstration. I can't help but wonder--as someone who has flirted with R but certainly not committed--how much time and practice it takes to acquire decent fluency with these half-magical incantations to become productive.

Really great examples. Anyone got any updates on what the best python equivalent is? Bokeh? Plotly?

This is a great demonstration and shows the bit that finally clicked with me. When you learn to wield these tools you'll be considered a wizard by many when you're able to make beautiful plots in seconds.

Is there a flipbook format that doesn't break content zooming?

Very nice. I would love some kind of plugin for Rstudio that let you "play" through an arbitrary ggplot like this to help understand how charts are built.

ggplot2's ultra terse, beautiful charts really beat out the competition. I do wish the api's were _less compact_ and more naturally explorable right out of the ide. R as a whole suffers these traits imho. I hope ggplot is ported to the RoW, ideally a typed language or runtime

This is exactly what I was looking for all weekend, great! Thanks!

tangential but what software were slides created in?

super cool, well done!

love to see this for other language and plotting
