I'm super excited to try this out! Couple of questions since I see @mbostock active in the comments.

1. Is the flexibility of languages used in data loaders/backend going to eventually come to the front end/ui? Or will the paradigm always be bring-your-own-language for the data loading but build your dashboard with observablejs/observable plot?

2. Considering ObservableJS is supported by Quarto, can we look forward to Observable Framework integrated with Quarto too? Or is the fact that the latest Quarto version also featured Dashboards more of a competitor to Framework?

3. Saw some comparison to Evidence.dev in the comments. I saw some shades of similarity with the markdown focused dev experience too but I recall Evidence chose Apache Echarts for their main charting library. Any thoughts of the pros/cons of Echarts vs ObservableJS/Plot?
