DaC might be more distinguishable from DAC, although the context obviously also helps readers telling them apart. Yours sincerely, came here for another DAC
Point taken, thanks! Out of curiosity, which DAC did you come here for?

#13Might want to add how this compares to other products in the space.
Some that come to mind that are potentially tangentially related/similar:

There are quite a few libraries for charts and visualization, there are not as many for actually combining many of them with layouts, different components and including the actual implementation of the backend. Dac aims to provide all that as a standard and an implementation.

#17Semantic layer + validation is the interesting part imo, everything else is table stakes. would lead with that

I mean that's what the Vega team is doing no? They are building the standard grammar (Vega-Lite), along with an implementation (Vega). And they are already quite established with rich ecosystem, and supports a ton of components[0]. The only thing missing is that it expects a CSV or inline data source. But it's probably not too hard to build an extension that connects to a data warehouse with an SQL query.

#20Why do ppl think building something through yaml is ever a good idea??
(I know why: for a platform it’s simpler to parse a yaml than to run code, but it’s almost never a good idea for anything that needs to scale in complexity)
