One of the big bottlenecks of plotting libraries is simply the time it takes to import the library. I’ve seen matplotlib being slow to import, and in Julia they even have a “time to first plot” metric. I’d be curious to see how this library compares.
I think one nice thing that we have tried to do is limit super heavy dependencies and also separate optional dependencies to streamline things.
The quickest install would be `pip install fastplotlib`. This would be if you were interested in just having the barebones (no imgui or notebook) for desktop viz using something like glfw.
We can think about adding in our docs some kind of import time metrics.
