@jasheldo, I came to Julia via R, but I didn’t decide against R. I make my decision which language to use problem-oriented.
How is Julia anything like Python?
I have never understood the intention of Julia to be an R or a python either. But in the end, based on Logan’s post, I hope that Julia will continue to be a programming language and community for everyone, which for me means that it will become even more user-friendly.
