The only low-code platform I actually respect.
I hear a lot of devs that don’t seem to get this.

No, Why would I spend a week coding something that I can create a pivot table and some charts for in an hour? Especially when if I code it myself, that means I now own and have to support my lovely new utility. Time is money and I’ve got way more important things to do than build custom reporting suites that no one except me is ever going to use.
I also prefer a spreadsheet, but for a proficient coder it’s not a week long job, unless they build it on bare metal. You can do a lot in an hour with a visualization library.
I spent some time looking into this, getting nowhere. What’s your favorite library that actually works for you?
Matplotlib is a fairly popular one, but it depends on what it is you want to do with the data.
40 years after ripping off VisiCalc which is 45 years old. And Aldus Persuation, and WordStar, and CPM, and Macintosh OS, and Netscape, and the list goes on.
Thank you, Simon Peyton Jones.
