- ekianjo 7y agoCare to share any language that does things better without a steep learning curve? R is popular for very, very good reasons. You can pick it up and be productive with it in no time, even with the "gotchas"...
- proverbialbunny 7y agoRaku has less of a learning curve than R, does things better, and is quicker and easier to pick up and be productive in, with barely any gotchas if any at all. Though, to be fair, I like R. It has good plotting libraries, and as much as it gets bashed I like RStudio too. In comparison, Raku's ecosystem is brand new.
