Ideology is meh. I always took the whole "there should be one obvious way" as a guideline for the language or libraries close to the core. Who cares if it isn't

Ideology is meh. I always took the whole "there should be one obvious way" as a guideline for the language or libraries close to the core. Who cares if it isn't that way for everything? Data visualization is a library at the end of a pipeline, which make the requirements for it to interface with anything else much less stringent as it is for the standard library for example. It's fine you have multiple tools. The only thing that matters at the end of the day is the product you provide, so it doesn't seem to matter to me.
