Anyone have charting/graphing libraries they like these days? I've done some building with matplotlib returning SVG charts, but no interactive components.

I've not looked deeply into JS charting options, so I'm curious to know what works well for lite applications.

@brianb It sounds like you're coming from a Python context -- are you looking at JS from a "quickest path to interactivity" context? If so, what deploy strategy are you using?

My gut says you should check out Plotly, which can be used in both python and JS contexts relatively fine, although the docs are annoyingly upselly for their paid product.

Outside of that, a lot of charting libraries are tightly tied to individual JS frameworks, unfortunately.
