   I completely agree with this sentiment. That's why I wrote Datoviz [1] almost entirely in C. I use C++ only when necessary, such as when relying on a C++ dependency or working with slightly more complex data structures. But I love C’s

    I feel like everyone has different expectations for a scientific plotting API. The tension between ease of use and expressivity is so strong that a one-size-fits-all solution is unlikely ever to exist.

    Maybe it's an instance of Parkinson's law [1]: if it all fits in GPU memory, just put it all in and plot it. This is much simpler to implement than any out-of-memory technique. It's also easier for the user—`scatter(x, y)` wo

    Indeed, it doesn't seem to be possible at the moment, see e.g. https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu/issues/4067

    Exactly, this is the sort of thing you can more easily do on desktop than in a web browser.

    I've been looking into this issue with Datoviz [1] following a user request. It turns out there may be a way to achieve it using Vulkan [2] (which Datoviz is based on) and CuPy's UnownedMemory [3]. I wrote a simple proof of conc

    Shameless plug: I'm actively working on a similar project, Datoviz [1], a C/C++ library with thin Python bindings (ctypes). It supports both 2D and 3D but is currently less mature and feature-complete than fastplotlib. It is also
