Not really, because honestly a lot of us who came into programming via research never learned typed languages or unit tests or any of those best practices - we were just hacking around in MATLAB, R, or Python from the start. What I really need is a seamless and easy way to run statistical models that can only be fit in R, but from Python or Node. There are several categories of statistical modeling where R completely blows python out of the water, and it's incredibly wasteful (and error-prone) to try to re-implement these yourself in Python.
- bachmeier 2y agorpy2 can be used to call R from Python: https://rviews.rstudio.com/2022/05/25/calling-r-from-python-with-rpy2/ https://rviews.rstudio.com/2022/05/25/calling-r-from-python-... reticulate works for going in the other direction: https://rstudio.github.io/reticulate/ https://rstudio.github.io/reticulate/ With the good interoperability these days, let's stop rewriting functionality in other languages. If the interoperability is no good, work on fixing that, please.
