As far as java vs R. Java is very common, and has a large number of libraries for building things like servers, and interfaces. It is probably faster computation wise as well. However if computation speed is not a major concern, and you are doing mostly statistic works, then switching to something you are not familiar with is probably not a good idea. Use the right tool depending on what you want. There is a reason so many statistics people use R / python, and not c.
- clove 10y agoIf R doesn't have the tools to offer a UI, how can I stick to R? Aren't I forced into a new language?
- setra 10y agoI honestly don't know much about the R library system. You could probably make a GUI in python pretty easily. Then write a basic server program that runs your R code when you get a processing request. The python app would then call the server which would run your R script. Depends on the domain of your project though really.
