And LLMs have made it even better.

There is so much matplotlib and plotly code on the web, that nothing else comes close to the effortless plotting of matplotlib/plotly.

I almost never have to write the styling myself. LLMs understand matplotlibs complex, but well specified docs really really well.

This points to a larger trend. If you want your language or hard-to-learn tool to get adoption. Then you better have an LLM that does 90% of the work for newcomers.

It's the '*a language is only as good as its idee*' phenomenon that every Java user is surely aware of; but 2024 version.
