This is great! I really love the BubbleChart. That looks like the start of a great new standard for visualizing the history of programming languages. 2 ideas: foundationScore might be a better signal to plot. foundationScore answers the question "what languages do people who build languages use?". We crawl the Git repos of over 1,000 programming language projects, and look at the languages used in each. Using the same scale across languages helps me identify the most impactful ones. I noticed Rob Pike doesn't appear under "Go". This could be my fault, as I did a very basic join of our creators scrollset with our pldb scrollset and didn't add proper handling for cases where creators > 1. (https://pldb.io/pldb.json has that data).

Thank you for your feedback! And thank you for your efforts on that dataset! I will try to redo and rerun notebook's statistics with https://pldb.io/pldb.json soon... As for using different variables for the bubble charts -- I will add the variant you suggest. In general, it is better to have an interactive interface that allows the selection of different variable combinations.
