That’s awesome! 🙂 I think the combination of the two is really great.

This thread speaks to me. I don’t work in data analysis or technical computing so I am even more so not-a-programmer than phendric who says he is not a programmer, but I understand the fog that he was experiencing.

As Tamas\_Papp indicated, at some point you just have to start doing in order to get to know more.

I wonder where @phendric is today and whether he got the answers to his Julia questions!
