This is a huge problem all over programming communities. However, R is reputed to be significantly worse than most. We're trying very hard to innovate not only with Julia's technology, but also with its community. There is no reason for open source programming projects to be "jerkdoms" – we're professionals and our behavior should be professional, civil, helpful, and respectful. Even if we weren't professionals, that's still just decent behavior. If you need evidence of a civil, non-snarky, supportive community look no further than this: https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/6829 https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/6829 A more typical issue interaction is this: https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/6769 https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/6769 This is now the longest issue discussion Julia has ever had, and a fairly divisive one (although a bit obscure), but entirely civil, polite, and respectful. > nothing comes close to ggplot2. IMO, Gadfly does: http://dcjones.github.io/Gadfly.jl/ http://dcjones.github.io/Gadfly.jl/ – of course, it's very heavily inspired by ggplot2 and uses D3 for plotting in the browser.
