Hi Sisyphuss,

By now, there are several ways to get Julia working with Plotly. My solution 
launches its own HttpServer so it can work in any browser. Atom, being 
basically an "unsafe" browser, has a couple packages to let you open web pages. 
In my screenshots above, I installed one of these Atom packages and opened up 
the URL for the HttpServer my PlotlyJS launches, so yes, it works in Atom, but 
through a separate browser package.

If you look at my code, there is nothing much specific to Plotly in there and 
whatever is specific to Plotly can be easily removed. It simply connects Julia 
to your browser and lets you manipulate the DOM interactively similar to 
Escher, but in a way that gives you access to any JavaScript library. In this 
Pre-Ann, I am controlling both d3.js and plotly.js directly from the REPL, but 
the same idea will work for any JavaScript, so I might change the name to 
JavaScript.jl or something a little more creative :)
