Another point I forgot to mention: In my current system, shader uniform parameters can be connected to GUI controls via a one-line annotation in the shader source. I've found this to be extremely useful for interactive data exploration, since it allows you to change visualization parameters with a simple swipe of the mouse rather than laboriously changing them as numeric values. Obviously it probably wouldn't work quite this way in julia, but having an extremely easy way to add basic GUI controls would be very useful. ~Chris
