Vega-Lite and Falcon author here. Many people ask for scalable visualizations and I think declarative visualization approaches are really promising since systems can transparently optimize data movement and rendering. I have done some more experiments to scale Vega such as https://github.com/vega/scalable-vega https://github.com/vega/scalable-vega but I think what we need is a system that automatically offloads heavy computations to a backend such as https://github.com/omnisci/jupyterlab-omnisci https://github.com/omnisci/jupyterlab-omnisci.
- carls 6y agoI've used Vega-Lite and d3 before and have appreciated both. Vega-Lite seems to be great for rapid prototyping and d3 for really refined, intricate and more complex plots. I checked out the Falcon documentation on Github and currently don't have a great understanding of (a) what it would be like to "write in Falcon" and (b) what it's intended use case is and how it differs from existing libraries. Do you mind clarifying?
