Chalk: Python Diagrams-like

[Sasha Rush]

Hi everyone, 

We've been working on a Python port of Diagrams, and wanted to introduce ourselves. 

https://github.com/chalk-diagrams/chalk

https://chalk-diagrams.github.io/

We've ported over a lot of the demos and much of the core code in as type-safe way as you can in Python. Here's an example I'm really proud of https://chalk-diagrams.github.io/examples/bigben/ :

Another example of the library to make interactive python notebooks like this for a course (I'm a professor in my day job).

Why are we doing this? Honestly, it's because Diagrams is such an incredible project to learn from. It's just an endlessly interesting collection of clever ideas and new areas to learn about. Both of us have now read the fantastic documentation cover-to-cover multiple times. We now have traces, envelopes, alignment, combinators, names, and 3 backends, but it still feels like there are so many interesting ideas we want to add.

So mostly we just wanted to say thanks, and let us know if there is any way we can help introduce these ideas to the broader Python community.
