Julia has advantages over Stata and SPSS as well.
I can't speak for Stata, but literally everybody I know using SPSS use it because of the easy to use GUI that allows quite complex analysis with basically zero programming.
- zhdc1 6y agoI don't intend to downplay either Stata or SPSS for exactly that reason - they're very good at what they do. However, they have a limited scope (which isn't a bad thing), and if you want to go beyond it, you have to turn towards other options (e.g., R for extensibility, or Julia (or C, or whatever) for performance).
