    Or create an amazing ASCII line graph showing your rollercoaster of activity over your last couple of sprints using asciichart (available for C, C#, C++, Elixir, Java, JavaScript, Go, Haskell, Perl, Python, PHP, Rust, and well... you get the picture).

    Is there anything important that I'm missing? I have ideas to colorize things to make it even easier (such as match track with piano key using a color), but for now this black and white theme works well. I can also use something like asciigraph to plot useful things.

    I've been playing around with the Go language and it looks like someone ported asciichart.js to Go: https://github.com/guptarohit/asciigraph

    asciigraph is a library for plotting basic graphs in a terminal. It's probably not what you want to have, still an awesome project.

  • Create interactive figures with go-plotly!
    3 projects | /r/golang | 18 Jul 2021
    I have used both https://github.com/wcharczuk/go-chart and https://github.com/gonum/gonum/tree/master/graph for charts, but my need for charts and graphs isn't constant. Since these are far more popular projects, there might be some hesitance for people to use something else without a specific differentiator. What is the biggest difference in your mind? I use a fair bit of Python, but not for graphs and charts. Is yours more similar to plotly? I know Gonum gets a lot of inspiration from Python libraries, but perhaps yours is a more specific equivalent to Plotly? I don't know exactly what you mean about interactivity until I get to play with it. I'm wrapping up a master's project now and might have a few weeks to poke at some visualizations.

    So far I've been using gonum anyway the couple times I've needed a chart, so I've used gonum, and while I did get confused in a few cases, I never tried the alternative I've heard mentioned: https://github.com/wcharczuk/go-chart Not sure how it compares, but if I ever have some time, I would love to contribute to gonum especially.
