To provide a little more context from what I know myself, Doug Bates is a long-time R contributor and package maintainer, but started switching to Julia for the reasons he gives here, among others, in mid 2012. He's a great hacker, not to mention brilliant statistician, and we're extremely lucky to have him in the Julia community.
- Fomite 13y agoThe prompting email is: "What it the proper citation for the lme4 package and the Bates' book? Also, can lme4 datasets (e.g., Pastes, ScotsSec, InstEval etc.) be used for illustration in publications? Can the authors grant permission or is the permission from the source needed? Many thanks for the package and the book. When can I hold a non-digital copy in my hands? Thanks, Russ" Sadly, I don't think that adds much to the context. But yeah, Julia benefits greatly from this. It's still not at the point where I'd move (I'm more of an end-user than a developer) but it's got my curiosity.
