Yeah, I got fed up with Julia's plotting library and wrote a C++ Qt plot function that forks and plots arrays of doubles.

It runs instantly even with millions of points.

Now what if your points aren't IEEE double-precision floating point numbers? What if they are Unix time represented as 64-bit integers, and you'd like to format the tick labels according to your locale?

That kind of composability is what keeps me interested in Julia, so I hope that the community keeps improving the overall UX of the language.

It’s QtCustomPlot so if I cared I could easily support those things. Julia does not have a monopoly on static types.

In the meantime, Julia GR plots are missing basic features and insist on putting bold black outlines around everything by default, obscuring the data.
