Just a general comment, but in my opinion IPython/Jupyter is worth learning Python for. It is such a great platform for tinkering with data or really any idea you might play with in code.
- RogerL 11y agoThe notebooks support a very large number of kernels, including Julia, R, bash, Lua, Erlang, Perl, OCaml, and so many more[1]. [1] https://github.com/ipython/ipython/wiki/IPython-kernels-for-other-languages https://github.com/ipython/ipython/wiki/IPython-kernels-for-...
- pash 11y agoAnd in case you were wondering, GitHub does render notebooks using other language kernels. For example, here's a notebook in Haskell: https://github.com/gibiansky/IHaskell/blob/master/notebooks/Homophones.ipynb https://github.com/gibiansky/IHaskell/blob/master/notebooks/...
