As the title says, which programming language would you agree had the best libraries for visualisation (graphs, 3d models, charts, networks, animations, etc)?

Prefer languages with libraries that have more visulatizaton features than say, ease of using the libraries.

    I jumped on Julia in the beginning (somewhere around 2015). I even bought the data analysis book by Bogumil Kaminski published a few years ago. However, Julia never made me feel comfortable. The syntax felt too complicated, even for smaller things. In addition, I kept running into compilation and package version issues, which cost me more time than I gained from typing or vectorization. The claims of some Julia followers that the language would soon surpass R or Python added another bad taste to the whole experience. I think this is part of the reason why Julia remains a niche language to this day. I stopped using it completely.
