I've been dreaming of something like this for many years. Stata has many strengths. It has a ridiculously simple syntax, much of the data "cleaning" often happens under the radar, it has a nice gui for models and plots, and v

I would be cautious saying Simulink has no Julia equivalent. This NASA engineer switched from Simulink to SciML and obtained a 15,000x speed up while his code went from 1000 lines to 50 lines long: https://www.youtube.com/wa

You don't have to. Just use Rcall. Of course R has been here longer. Eleven years after its creation, R had fewer than 500 packages. Julia was released in 2012 and today has over 7,000 packages.

You should check out this case study of migrating Simulink to Julia at NASA: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQpqsmwlfY0 From Simulink to Julia, his code went from 1000 lines to 50 lines and ran 15,000x faster.
