Thanks Tamas Papp.
We think very much alike. Certainly the transcription of packets from R to Julia requires a lot of effort and is not a simple job since many features will have to be rethought.
The R language dates back to the 1990s and is well established but built on many problems.
The great advantage of language is that it was built by statisticians. The big disadvantage is that it was built by statisticians.
What I realize is that the statistical community is increasingly dominating computing and taking an interest in the subject. I believe the transcription of packages from R to Julia will be very important in the near future.
Best regards,
