@Ruth_Mottram I switch from Matlab to R so that more people could run, read and reuse my code.

I guess, Julia is at least free, so people could run your code, but my impression is that not many scientists can code in Julia.

So I would only use Julia if there are clear benefits that override such community considerations.

@VictorVenema @Ruth_Mottram I agree with what Victor says, I switched to R a while back for similar considerations. Of course it doesn’t matter hugely, as the joke goes, I can write fortran in any language. Depends on your usage of course, but I’m assuming data processing and analysis rather than serious HPC stuff.

@VictorVenema @Ruth_Mottram I work mostly in R, for historical reasons - learned it long ago. But watching new grad students use #Jupyter, where R, Python, and probably Julia can coexist, makes me suggest looking at Jupyter as a base.
