Python features very sophisticated graphics through matplotlib (at least on par with R/ggplot2). > - General-purpose languages without graphical capacities (sql, sh, etc.) Sounds like a good idea to me. I don't know whether it would save a lot of effort though or make it easier to get functions spread out? –Rasmus -- When in doubt, do it!
