12/22/2019, 7:38 PM@Igor Alshannikov actually I do like kotlin much more and intend to put an effort to convince scientific community yo use it. I am really excited about lets-plot. But what I want is a common kotlin API on top of it so we could have this basic API for any plot system without actually depending on the plot system like it is done in matplotlib or Julia plot recepies.

12/24/2019, 6:49 PMI had a long discussion with Roman during Kotlinconf and we made some plans about how we want to proceed. I personally plan to adapt owr solutions like plotly.kt to work with Jupyter-kotlin and then proceed with API development. Sadly I have to finish one project right now and then I can switch to plotting.
