As the title says, which programming language would you agree had the best libraries for visualisation (graphs, 3d models, charts, networks, animations, etc)?

Prefer languages with libraries that have more visulatizaton features than say, ease of using the libraries.

Wouldn't JavaScript really take the cake here? Like, Python definitely has some good libraries but JavaScript lives in the browser, interfaces with HTML5 canvas, and is far more popular by the nature of the web.

Svg support is also native, which is great for certain applications.
