working on a similar project #1

Hello hello, I wanted to say I have been working on a similar project over at nteetor/golly. Someone just pointed me toward this project. Currently my project builds the script to create the G2 visualization. My goal is build a parser like that of vega's and avoid the current strategy entirely. This way the R side could simply send over JSON (or other format). Additionally, this would allow other engines to work with the final G2 JSON spec, if they wanted to.

Perhaps there is a way we can combine forces? I look forward to hearing back from you.

hi thanks for your message! that would be great to see where our efforts could be combined. right now it looks like there is still some discussion on the optimal R api choice here : https://github.com/g2inR/g2r/issues/1 so maybe you already had some thoughts on that given your experience so far with golly?
