Is anyone aware of efforts to reimplement R base functions or numpy in Julia for learning?

I think I saw a table mapping R functions to Julia once. But I was thinking if it’s possible to implement base r functions in Julia to replicate the arg names etc and replicate the functionality. Both as a learning opp for learning r base and python.

Which functions are you thinking of ? A lot of “base” R is actually from the stats package, which is loaded by default in R. The Statistics stdlib and StatsBase package provide much of the same functionality in Julia.

Yeah but the functions are different names.

The ones that I know:

Here for a comparison of Julia, Matlab and Python.
Here for a comparison of DataFrames relative to Python and R.

Yeah. I remember. I also remember another one that was more R focused.

I started a toy project called NumpyClone for implementing numpy API julia down to exact argument name
