I think a lot of were already using Mermaid and/or Python/Matplotlib(etc) for this. What would be the advantages to Flint?

Mostly for expressiveness and reliability & cost trade-off. Flint has advantage of being an intermediate language that allow agents to generate good-looking stuff without additional refinement loops, since the compiler derives lower-level geometric constraints from semantic types.

Would especially be handy when we are building some agents that produce charts that serve end users (they want faster and more reliable experiences!).
