Check out redframes[1] which provides a dplyr-like syntax and is fully interoperable with pandas. [1]: https://github.com/maxhumber/redframes

Yes, but no one's made a reverse-mode autodiff system for it yet, so all of the linked examples have hand-written derivatives.

Similar to Hyukoh's[1], although it is actually multiple documents. P.TM seem to have gone all in, which is neat. [1]: http://www.hyukoh.com/

Ironically, sometimes calculating cost-per-use takes more brainpower than it's worth. Sometimes I get a lot of enjoyment of buying a thing that I know I will love and considering all of the alternatives. Other times, I just defer to wh

Oh trust me, I am. The new code_report solution video on it convinced me to try it.

The lack of an AD primitive is something I've discussed with the creator of BQN, coming from a JAX world I really miss it and feel that it's such an obvious feature, especially in a language which has a way to turn a tacit functio

I switched permanently from Plots.jl to Makie.jl in order to have backend-agnostic fine-grained control. My publication plots look fantastic and the power given to users is really something. It also has a nicer API than Plots.jl once you ge

I agree with your conclusion but want to add that switching from Julia may not make sense either. According to these benchmarks: https://h2oai.github.io/db-benchmark/ , DF.jl is the fastest library for some things, da

BQN[1] has higher order functions. Of the array languages I've used, it's by far my favourite. That said, I mostly solve small problems for fun in them. [1] https://mlochbaum.github.io/BQN/index.html

Context: Coming from a statistics background, I learned a bit of R, then a bit of Python for data analysis/science, then found Julia as the language I invested my time in. Over time I keep up with R and Python enough to know what'

Nice to see a non-trivial package with 100% code coverage, can't remember the last time I saw that.

Bogumil is a truly outstanding member of the community and DataFrames.jl is an impressive, versatile package. From my perspective, however, DataFrames.jl's power is what makes it quite unergonomic for me. As an example, take the `args

I think DF.jl works remarkably well as a "fits in RAM" dataframe backend, but I think it just lacks in usability and integratedness with the wider Julia ecosystem. Or rather, the wider ecosystem isn't as mature in key data an

Although it's worth noting that the information is somewhat outdated. Notably, the most recent version of K is K9 (referred to through its proprietary implementation called Shakti) although K3 (through Kona), K4 (through Q by KX system

The difference is that Julia makes it easy to insert these characters (\symbol) so programming with them becomes more natural.

Can someone comment on the user experience of NetworkX vs comparable packages like igraph? I've used Graphs.jl (formerly LightGraphs.jl) and I was unimpressed as it felt quite cumbersome and unintuitive.

If you are doing array or vector-based work where the operations can be written as maps as opposed to for loops then JAX is king imo.

On the flipside, I was thinking of learning CL as a Julia developer and this post has somewhat discouraged me to do so. What can learning CL do for me apart from realising that S-expression syntax is superior? For context, I very often find

As a relatively new programmer who entered it through statistics, I've still yet to have a better UX or "it just works" moment than using the tidyverse. Years after moving to Julia, Python, and Rust I still go back to R to do

Feature-wise, the experience of using it is very streamlined. More importantly, it's where a substantial proportion of youth culture is found nowadays, so to keep up with and contribute to it is to be on the app.

I don't think such a defensive response is necessary. Julia's claims have been rather lofty since the beginning and the degree to which they have been achieved is different to everyone. Without defining more precisely what succeed

As someone who does work in similar domains as yourself, I find that making a main function which contains all of the code I want to be reproducible is a good way to achieve both high speed and running code in a clean environment. Writing .

How has that gone for your firm? Why was the decision made not just be upfront about the salary? If you are afraid that people won't be willing to work with you if they knew the salary then why potentially waste their time? The first i
