Matplotlib is heavily inspired by MATLAB's plotting, no? Its pyplot submodule is a wrapper around the base OO API which is an almost exact clone of matlab.

Matlab and Mathematica are awesome. Gadfly had a great API but suffered greatly from Julia's ttfp problem. Tried makie, looked good but that was around when I left Julia (just because other langs paid). VegaLite is pretty amazing.

I know about this. It's heading in the right direction, but still lacks many Gadfly features, let alone ggplot2 ones.
