I'm a professor of mathematics at the University of North Carolina Asheville. I've also done a fair amount of consulting work over the years focusing on scientific and data visualization.
I'm happy to be part of the first Observable Ambassador's cohort.

Delayed evaluation
viewof click = Inputs.button("Click")
fast = md`${click} click${click == 1 ? "" : "s"}! (Much faster)`
slow = Promises.delay().then(() => {
click;
let i;
for (i = 0; i < 2 * 10 ** 9; i++) {
Math.sqrt(i);
}
return md`${click} click${click == 1 ? "" : "s"}? (Still slow)`;
})
viewof dont_click = Inputs.button("Don't click!")
also_slow = md`${dont_click} click${dont_click == 1 ? "" : "s"}! (Should be fast but is not.)`
// Both cells are slow with this approach:
still_slow = {
dont_click;
let i;
for (i = 0; i < 2 * 10 ** 9; i++) {
Math.sqrt(i);
}
return md`${dont_click} click${
dont_click == 1 ? "" : "s"
}? (Expected to be slow)`;
}
Purpose-built for displays of data
Observable is your go-to platform for exploring data and creating expressive data visualizations. Use reactive JavaScript notebooks for prototyping and a collaborative canvas for visual data exploration and dashboard creation.
