Many thanks to AJ Kerrigan who subbed to Saul at the Workflow Optimistist level on Patreon, patreon.com/saulpw, and requested that this feature be kept open in our issues list.
It was super fun to get to be on @pythonbytes with @brianokken and @mkennedy! 🐍 I loved getting to talk about a favorite tool of mine, @visidata, share some updates on tools from the Scikit-HEP project, and talk about testing infrastructure that borrows from Monty Python jokes.
v2.-4 is shipped!
visidata.org/v2.x
We re-integrated vls into core VisiData, added an increment and unfurl command, made CLI options more tunable, polished fmtstr and did lots and lots of bug fixes.
v2.0 is in sight. 🗻
VisiData 2.0 is really coming along. We added @jsvine's `unfurl-col` command, which is like an instant self-join with a column of list or dict. Very useful for nested data in e.g. JSON, and a nice row-wise complement to `expand-col`.
Unbound for now; maybe zM as a focused melt?
There are two main ways table data can be organized:
▮ column-major
▬ row-major
Row-major keeps each row together, whereas column-major keeps each column together. The architecture you choose has implications on all data operations.
