At this point I feel like I've come across a half-dozen of these text-to-chart languages. My impression is that they all started with a simple case for which it works fine, but then get hairy as they add broader/more complex use cases.
It leaves me wondering: if somebody carefully looked at all the languages and all the use cases, is it possible to build a single language that does it all while still being easy for smaller charts? Or are the goals of easy and complete in too much tension, such that we're better off with a bunch of languages, each one tuned for making things easy in a particular zone of the problem space?
