Hi Stef, Is kind of strange, but I didn't use Polymath at all for my prototypes on medicine data visualization[1] Panama Papers[2] or Twitter Data Selfies[3] or the book on Data Driven Journalism[4]. I just use Roassal, UDBC with Sqlite, NeoJSON and STON. So it may sound strange, but I think that Pharo is already a pretty good contestant on the area of Data Driven Storytelling, if we provide a more integrated "end user" experience (that's what I'm trying to do with Grafoscopio). Things like a better support for Markup languages with syntax highlighting and orthographic corrector (via GT-Documenter?), better GUI for querying data in SQL, are a felt needs and also integration with R has been asked.

I think that we could have a killer app for a growing niche! The main issue now is to provide researchers and data driven storytellers with a mature enough default experience to make them to bet on that Pharo powered vision of the future.
