While I understand that language is evolving and that only under a "strict definition" of open access does it mean removing barriers to copying and reuse [1], it's seems pretty duplicitous to say it's "open" while putting it under a non-commercial license.

  Data visualizations in Clojure and ClojureScript using Vega and Vega-lite

Anyone have experience with both MatPlotLib and Vega / Vega-lite? I like working in Clojure and am just about to do a bunch of data-viz.

I've only done a simple line chart so far, and I used this oz library for interfacing with Clojure and displaying results in the browser. [1]

One of the problems was lack of error messages. Not sure what part of the tooling was failing me there.

I can't speak to oz's error messages, but for the vega-lite + python integration, I've found altair pretty usable. In particular, simple scatter plots with tooltips were easy to get up and running.
