I always envied Python developers typing plt.show() in Jupyter and getting a beautiful graph.

So I built the Ruby equivalent.

Docker + JupyterLab + Ruby kernel + ruby-libgd:

```
plot = Plot.new
plot.add("sin(x)")
plot.add("x**2 + y**2 - 9", type: :implicit)
plot.render("/work/graph.png")
```

Scientific plotting is coming to Ruby. Full article on RubyStackNews — link in comments.
