When Julia has an environment as good as Rstudio and a dashboard as good as Shiny, and a Spark interface that is as good as Sparkler and R-Spark then I'll be up for it.
Writing good code in R is an effort, it's possible but the language doesn't make it easy. Julia makes me write good code off the bat and facilitates writing excellent, elegant code.
- claytonjy 10y agoThis is how I tend to feel about all non-R things; I've been using R for long enough to dislike a lot about the language, but the environment and tooling is too good to give up. Letting R be the first language I've gotten pretty good at is really spoiling me.
- pitaj 10y agoYep. In my short time working on an R project, I really enjoyed how everything was right there. I'd love to see more REPLs include package managers.
- astrochymist 10y agoRstudio is nice, no doubts there; however, I find myself avoiding language-centric IDEs. If one uses R most of the time, it's fine, but as someone who usually writes in multiple languages in a day, I find myself appreciating emacs' modes more (of which the Julia one is fine). It's also why I like the fact that the semi-official Julia IDE, Juno, isn't a standalone application (it runs in Atom and is nice, if one doesn't mind the performance of Atom...) edit: spelling
- sgt101 10y agoI liked the Julia mode in emacs, but dear god, plots, files, environment, help and viewer.. (what is viewer for?)
- IndianAstronaut 10y agoIt is the libraries which really make R. Easy decision trees, SEM, robust regressoon, etc.
