Absolutely. More and more now I am coming to the conclusion that itβs better to push into new problem domains with Python or R building on that ecosystem than it is to learn a new niche language for each thing. But Julia is so fast! They say. Well I reply, so is Numba on GPU and running my existing code on it is next to no effort! Writing C extensions to Python or R is easy too and I already know how to do it.
A language would need to be radically better for me to switch, not just incrementally.
