  2. Looking forward to using this[0] with Pluto instead of repl! (They just look so cool) [0]: https://github.com/JuliaPlots/UnicodePlots.jl

  6. …R, but might have been Julia, Python, or Ocaml. After searching I think it might have been this: https://github.com/JuliaPlots/UnicodePlots.jl

  7. I would rather use this: https://github.com/Evizero/UnicodePlots.jl along with a little scripting.

  8. Nice!, in Julia there is a library to do plots with a similar technique, https://github.com/Evizero/UnicodePlots.jl

  9. https://github.com/Evizero/UnicodePlots.jl this seems pretty popular in Julia, inspired by Drawille mentioned in the article.

  10. And Julia has UnicodePlots ( https://github.com/Evizero/UnicodePlots.jl ).

  11. I am a big fan of https://github.com/Evizero/UnicodePlots.jl . It is unexpected how useful these tools can be to track the evolution of numerical experiments/developments right on the terminal.

  13. Very cool. Reminds me of one of my favorite Julia packages: https://github.com/Evizero/UnicodePlots.jl It uses Braille characters as well as others to render all kinds of plots in a text terminal. So handy sometimes, and so reliable.

  14. There is a very cool Julia library: https://github.com/Evizero/UnicodePlots.jl

  15. …is quite different, as Termgraph seems a stand-alone program, while UnicodePlots is a library. [1] https://github.com/Evizero/UnicodePlots.jl

  16. https://github.com/Evizero/UnicodePlots.jl Scientific plotting in the terminal. I didn't come up with the idea of abusing unicode characters in such a way, just fyi. Example: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Evizero/UnicodePlots.jl/ma...
