In some ways I miss my time as an R programmer. Back then I could type R and make various sorts of rough useful plots of data quickly. 10 years of nonstop programming later, I no longer use R, and I cannot make rough useful plots quickly in either Python or JS. (There is nothing quick about activating the right virtualenv, starting a jupyter server, getting a notebook running, and trying to remember how to import and use matplotlib. And JS is worse).
- closed 6y agoHave you tried the python port of ggplot, plotnine? I screencast doing live data analyses with jupyter notebooks, virtualenv, and plotnine. I'm definitely much quicker in R, but it's not too bad! https://youtu.be/z6xNKZZMWgU https://youtu.be/z6xNKZZMWgU
