Definitely. A lot of work is done in R or python and could be sped up in a compiled language.

- panta 7y agoYes. I’m not a scientist, but I think if there were good compiled python/R alternatives, the scientific world would benefit greatly, if not only for the reduced waiting times... Maybe a language with Go simplicity and speed and Python ease of use and appeal... It should have an almost real-time compile mode (with very little optimization) to enable interactive playgrounds, like Jupyter. Of course it’d need also strong optimization modes for final production code.
