Is there a tutorial like this but based on Python or R?

  Julia's syntax is sufficiently similar to Python/R/Matlab that it should be pretty easy to read (but might have to look up a few things) even if you've never used Julia

  I like julia better than either of the two. It also has insane interop with both of those so like any numpy and R functions are a line away. https://github.com/JuliaPy/PyCall.jl https://github.com/JuliaPy/PyCall.jl

    I remember trying out Julia for the first time. There weren't many libs but I found out about @pyimport and I was like "cool, let's try some stuff" and I found out that pretty much all I wrote was calls through Python bindings, so I thought "wait it's probably simpler to just use Python then", and left it at that. Point is, I hope the ecosystem has gotten better last time I tried it ~3 years ago, and I also hope the interoperability didn't turn out to be "too good" for the ecosystem's own health.

      The ecosystem is pretty amazing.
