Stardust: GPU-Based Visualization Library
D3 can use GPU shaders and is far more flexible. This is ok for canned vis, not for custom data vis. Like Vega vs D3. D3 wins every time.

What makes D3 more flexible?

Vega is built on D3. It's just operating at a higher level. It's like C++ vs Python. You can do anything in C++ you can do in Python, but it may take a lot more work.

This may be a bit confusing but Vega only uses some D3 helpers, it does not generate D3 code at any point. See
https://vega.github.io/vega/about/vega-and-d3/
for details.
But you high-level point is accurate, D3 is more expressive since you can use all of JavaScript.
