Tired of reading about Julia not living up expectations? Then let’s create some more posts here about those times a person or package community _exceeded_ your expectations! 🚀

I noticed that the tag `appreciation` had just _one_ post listed under it, and it was categorised as “Offtopic”!

> I’m impressed at how smoothly these two packages worked together for me just now! I was creating a Julia to R interface for a [little package](https://github.com/RobertGregg/FGES.jl) I’m developing and noticed that the JuliaConnectoR package could directly translate julia tables to R dataframes with the as.data.frame() function. Awesome, one problem: the data I wanted to send over was currently a Vector{myStruct} object. I thought it was going to take a long time to convert this to a DataFrame but [this post](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/struggling-to-implement-tables-jl-interface-for-vector-mystruct/42318/7) shows that you literally ju…

I think shout-outs should never be off-topic. Let’s hear some more. Looking forward to hearing from you all.

I agree 😁 I guess I was having trouble finding a good category for this post at the time. I would love to see more appreciation posts for Julia!

Here is one shout-out: to the Julia community that has come together in this forum. I am very impressed how well everyone seems to interact here, and how helpful people are in general. It is a pleasure to be part of it.

This is a great community and I would like to add a special word of appreciation to @stevengj for tirelessly sharing his encyclopedic knowledge in scientific computing and his Julia coding art in a very educational way. A book by him would be very welcome.

Appreciation for @jipolanco who’s awesome [BSPlineKit.jl](https://github.com/jipolanco/BSplineKit.jl) I’ve found to be very useful for fast interpolations/extrapolations where Interpolations.jl didn’t support (non-uniform points beyond linear interpolation). He’s also been very nice in a couple of questions that I’ve asked.

Agreed! For me Julia has been incredibly stable in all the ways I care about. I use it in field work when things need to get done fast and reliably so. Julia to the rescue!

Still a grateful scientist!

Don’t forget that for tons of us, your contribution really means a lot. It’s been an amazing language to work with, I love all my projects a little more just because they’re in Julia, and I can’t describe how excited I am about Julia’s future. So thank you very much for your awesome work 100

I would like to queue up as well:  
My special appriciation goes to the contributers of: `PyCall` and `Conda`!  
This way I can mostly stay inside the Julia environment.
