As the title says, which programming language would you agree had the best libraries for visualisation (graphs, 3d models, charts, networks, animations, etc)?
Prefer languages with libraries that have more visulatizaton features than say, ease of using the libraries.
Wouldn’t JavaScript really take the cake here? Like, Python definitely has some good libraries but JavaScript lives in the browser, interfaces with HTML5 canvas, and is far more popular by the nature of the web.
Svg support is also native, which is great for certain applications.
Depends what you want to do, but for scientific stuff, R or MATLAB.
With all my dislike towards Matlab, it had great plots.
Manim Community is a community fork of 3blue1brown’s awesome manim visualization library for python.

I moved from Python to Julia. I primarily generate mathematical images and videos: fractals, chaotic systems, complex functions, etc. I’ve found Julia to be faster with better libraries for my purposes (eg. VideoIO).
I don’t do charts, graphs, etc… but I imagine Julia has great libraries for that stuff too.
js has access to Apache echarts, which has a lot of diagrams and good api and doc with example
Python has access to matplotlib, plotly and more.
Both have the advantage of good support for secondary feature for data gathering and ui.
