Michael, This is not exactly what you are asking for but at least there are some plans for integrating Vega.jl (d3-based) and Escher.jl at some point: https://github.com/johnmyleswhite/Vega.jl/issues/16 If you/others know about other ways to have d3-based/interactive graphs in/with Escher plea

Package looks beautiful. I see that you are using Gadfly, and using rendering offered up by the Compose package. Any thoughts about how I would render a d3-based infrastrcture? Michael On Monday, June 8, 2015 at 12:23:21 PM UTC-4, Shashi Gowda wrote: > > Hello all! > > I have been working on

There is no compilation of Julia code into JavaScript. At the cost of simplifying, you essentially manipulate a shadow DOM in Julia, that generates the corresponding HTML. And browser events are delivered to Julia using reactive signals. So yes, I suppose you could say that it is all "driven

This is absolutely fantastic!!! A common impediment I've heard regarding why Julia is not adopted for more general/web programming is it's lack of GUI and other general toolkits/libraries. This will help immensely I think. Have you considered adding facilities to wrap arbitrary JS libraries

Looks pretty interesting and in line with a lot of current web framework thinking. Are there any pieces inside Escher which help with compiling Julia code to JavaScript? Or is it all "driven" from the server? On Monday, June 8, 2015 at 12:23:21 PM UTC-4, Shashi Gowda wrote: > > Hello all! > > I

Looks super! Nice to see such a cool mix of features (functional, reactive, websocket, html5, Tex support,...) I just have one concern: since the GUI is immutable and involves a lot of julia code generation (and hence compilation): what's the performance like? On Monday, June 8, 2015 at 6:23:21
