  • Makie, a modern and fast plotting library for Julia

  • Tidyverse 2.0.0

    This illustrates the point perfectly. Julia is attempting this and has a beachhead with Dataframes.jl. Confusingly though, Tidier.jl isn't really analogous to R's Tidyverse. It's more like one of a handful of meta-packages around Dataframes.jl.

    Then there are Grammar of Graphics (ggplot was Tidyverse's first star) style plotting libraries that Julia has been building. I'm probably most excited about Algebra of Graphics (https://github.com/MakieOrg/AlgebraOfGraphics.jl/) as part of the Makie Plots ecosystem. It does still feel a bit like Julia community can't decide between following Matplotlib or R's Grid/Ggplot approach.

    The seeds of a Tidyverse for Julia are there, but it'll take some time to achieve the consistency and maturity of the original Tidyverse.

  • What Julia plotting library do you use/think will be the standard going forward?

    Did you maybe overlook something, in https://github.com/JuliaPlots/AlgebraOfGraphics.jl or other package? I looked up "grid" and it seems to have something. I realize R, and ggplot2, were considered best by many (and Gadfly.jl similar, AoG seems to be its replacement?), but I didn't realize it had extensions (that you clarify below). At least you can call R, and thus use its plotting (and I assume its extensions too, can you confirm or deny?). For some reasons you got downvoted, so might you be ignorant of new developments in Julia (also Makie, to me it seemed excellent and I thought Julia caught up with plotting, and also had more options than other languages), or the others, or people simply very opinionated about plotting? It's about features, also speed/latency/TTFP, which is getting better.

    Julia has plenty of plotting solutions that are better for stats than matplotlib:
