Microsoft Research introduces Flint-interactive, a language for interactive data visualizations

Microsoft Research released Flint-interactive, a language built on Flint that lets agents and developers create interactive data visualizations through high-level semantic events and update operators. Flint's compiler resolves raw clicks, drags and key presses into semantic events and translates update operators into rendered canvas changes, so users avoid low-level visualization code and much of the layout and debugging work. It is available through Flint-MCP and MCP Apps in chat, the Flint Interactive Canvas for dashboards and data stories, and a programming API for bespoke interactions.
