There's also Shiny, Jupyter, Bokeh...

  Those aren't updated clientside (have to ask the server for the new chart instead of just the data), which is a different architecture that does not scale.

    Broken actually does a lot of stuff client side and you can simply update the data. It's much closer to d3 for interactivity,and really quite powerful. It does lack some features ATM, but it continues to grow space.

    Indeed, what I like about plotly is that you can start pretty much anywhere (R, Python, Jupyter, browser JavaScript, node.js, Julia, Matlab...) and get to an interactive, explorable chart (disclaimer, I'm working on WebGL plotly functions eg. https://twitter.com/plotlygraphs/status/747879741399568384 https://twitter.com/plotlygraphs/status/747879741399568384)

    Shiny supports either model, depending on the visualization. And also I think you have it backwards, if you have to scale to large amounts of data then you want to push a chart, not data, into the client.

  Hadn't heard of Bokeh before; so thanks for that! Also there is ggvis https://github.com/rstudio/ggvis https://github.com/rstudio/ggvis which is nice if you are already using ggplot2.
