Voyager is a recommendation system based on variables characteristics present in data. User is mostly limited by the offerings of voyegar (same story of https://github.com/vega/polestar).

Vega is descriptive version of d3. We find it hard for debugging and creating complex viz.

Vega-lite is concise and more intuitive version of vega though.

However Muze was created to start directly from data, creating layout, composable layers, automatic cross interaction and a robust interaction mental model. Muze is inspired from VegaLite-InfoVis and Snap together viz paper.

Hi, one of the Vega-Lite author here. I'm glad you like Vega-Lite and were inspired by our Infovis paper. Vega-Lite is much more mature than when we wrote the Infovis paper so I suggest you to check it out. Compared to Muze, Vega-Lite is embracing full declarativeness.

Hey I think you are Dominik (guessed from your handle). Thanks for the reply.

Vega-Lite paper and layered grammar of graphics are the biggest motivations to write Muze. Vega-Lite is still my goto viz library for my ipython and JS work. Hence there are healthy intersections between vega-lite and muze terminologies and concepts.

Would definitely love to check new development.

How is Vegalite different from Muze?
