Visualizing Olympic Medals with F# and Fable
summary
An interactive website (http://rio2016.thegamma.net) exposes every visualization as editable source so visualizations can be reproduced, modified and re-run; it parses a compact transformation language (serialized discriminated unions), evaluates queries in-browser or on the server, and can emit SQL. Implementation uses F# and Fable, leverages type providers for autocompletion and data-aware editing, embeds the Monaco editor for live code previews, and follows an Elm-style update/render model. The demos work live (you can rerun the Michael Phelps comparison and see Cold War spikes) and the code is on GitHub.
