I'm currently working a lot with Matlab and seeing a beauty like Escher for Julia is all I could wish for. Great work!!

It reminds me a little about Elm, I'm not sure what's missing in Escher over Elm's features, but that's another story.

Hello! I wrote Escher. Thanks!

Reactive.jl which Escher depends on for interaction was entirely inspired by Elm! I think the main difference between Elm is that Elm is currently a client-only compile-to-JS language. Escher, otoh runs on the server and compiles to Virtual DOM instead of JS. The Virtual DOM can include custom HTML elements, I use Polymer extensively, and have a few elements of my own for doing things like event capture, websocket communication, sampling events etc.

see https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/julia-users/UEaYPlBu... for a brief description of how it works.
