Microsoft Research launches Flint-interactive
What you need to know
Microsoft Research released Flint-interactive, a language built on Flint that lets agents and developers build interactive data visualizations using high-level semantic events and update operators. Its compiler turns 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 custom interactions.
