An OpenType variable font that turns simple text expressions into inline charts. No JavaScript, no images — just type.
Meet Datatype, my new font that turns text into charts. Available on Google Fonts and of course in Workspace. Simple syntax like {b:10,25,7,95} turns into sparklines, pie charts, and bar charts that look great in your docs, slides, and sheets. https://t.co/0cgEkOcFfM https://t.co/wViF3fPtMr

JavaScript With Syntax For Types.
TypeScript extends JavaScript by adding types to the language. TypeScript speeds up your development experience by catching errors and providing fixes before you even run your code.
A Very Early History of Algebraic Data Types
Been quiet around here! I’ve been putting almost all of my writing time into Logic for Programmers and my whole brain is book-shaped. Trust me, you do not want to read my 2000-word rant on Sphinx post-build LaTeX customization. But I spent the past week in a historical rabbit hole and had to share what I found. It started with Algebraic [Data] Types are not Scary, Actually. The post covers AlgDTs1 in more detail, but a quick overview is:
Exploring Art with TypeScript, Jupyter, Polars, and Observable Plot | Deno
With Deno's Jupyter support, you can explore, interact, and create interactive charts with TypeScript and HTML. Here's a tutorial featuring data of over 130,000 famous artworks.

Lini — diagrams, charts, drawings and schematics from plain text
Lini is a small text-to-diagram language: flowcharts, mindmaps, charts, sequence diagrams, ER schemas, engineering drawings, floor plans and circuit schematics from plain text, compiled to clean, themeable SVG. Open source, written in Rust, and it runs in the browser.

Datasette
Datasette is a tool for exploring and publishing data. It helps people take data of any shape, analyze and explore it, and publish it as an interactive website and accompanying API.

A High-Level Grammar of Interactive Graphics
Vega-Lite - a high-level grammar for statistical graphics. Vega-Lite provides a higher-level grammar for visual analysis, comparable to ggplot or Tableau, that generates complete Vega specifications. Vega-Lite specifications consist of simple mappings of variables in a data set to visual encoding channels such as x, y, color, and size. These mappings are then translated into detailed visualization specifications in the form of Vega specification language. Vega-Lite produces default values for visualization components (e.g., scales, axes, and legends) in the output Vega specification using a rule-based approach, but users can explicit specify these properties to override default values.
