For anyone wondering: these kind of plots are sometimes still called "joyplots", but more and more commonly referred to as "ridgeline plots". Many plotting libraries have support for them nowadays, some more 'native support' than others. For ggplot2 there's ggridges [0], the seaborn docs have an example here [1] or in my own ggplot2 inspired lib for Nim [2] it's built in:

- btbuildem 4y agoYup. At some point there was a storm in a teacup in the dataviz community about the name of the plot, because someone discovered the plot, discovered Joy Division, and learned of the origins of the name -- then immediately had to get offended and mount a crusade about it. Luckily, "ridgeline" does describe the plot type quite well, maybe even better than "joyplot".
