i would say bokeh is more similar to d3 than highcharts (although my under-standing of highcharts may be off)<p>1) you can create any viz you want to - you have access to very low-level elements and can build up anything from them
2) it&#x27;s liberally open source licensed<p>why i initially got sucked into bokeh over d3 is that:
a) I prefer python
b) I find it more intuitive (d3 always messes with my head)
