	HN Discussion: ↓Existing charting libraries like ggplot, plotly, or Vega-Lite are already sufficient and this reinvents the wheel ↓LLMs are already good at existing graphics libraries, so a new DSL is unnecessary ↓Direct AI generation of Vega specs yields more flexible, higher-quality results than Flint ↓The pitch lacks evidence or benchmarks showing why this is better for LLMs ~A simpler, token-efficient API for LLMs could have merit, but pluggable backends seem unnecessary
