We're focussing on the scientific-computation languages since those users are probably doing the most plotting on the day-to-day and are in most need of a better data collaboration tool. That being said, we'll add interfaces to other languages over time. Do you do a lot of plotting in Perl?
- Mithaldu 13y agoNot right now, but in the past i've worked on applications for plotting health-related data, activity of financial markets and created visualizations for bio-engineering researchers. Perl is one of the go-to languages for converting raw data into manager-friendly representations, has many tools for that already, and i'm sure many would be interested in adding another tool to their repertoire. Frankly, i find myself baffled that you'd think Perl is not a scientific-computation language, given the existence of BioPerl, PDL, GD::Graph and many other widely-used tools that relate to your field. If you'd agree to putting it on your API page, i'll happily do the needful and make a release to CPAN and port the examples you have there.
- cparmer 13y agoCool, that's really great feedback. I'm certainly more unfamiliar with the Perl community than with the other 3 languages, so thanks for sharing and offering your help!
- Mithaldu 13y agoSo, that doesn't answer the question. If i write the module and port the examples, will you put it on your website? (If you agree, giving me a github repo to make a pull req to, or an email to send the data to would help too.)
- cparmer 13y agoI'll definitely place a Perl (and other language modules) on the API page! I think the best way to go about this is to write a REST api as @zhemao suggested. Feel free to email me at chris[at]plot.ly :)
