Immensely powerful, especially in concert with tidy data [0]. It's really remarkable how having a 'language' for the relationship between concepts can allow for so much flexibility.

As a python user, I use the plotnine[1] implementation religiously.

How mature is plotnine? I always had the impression it was more of an experiment on how things could be done than an actual alternative?

I too prefer the code examples I’ve seen of theirs to any other Python framework
