I like julia better than either of the two. It also has insane interop with both of those so like any numpy and R functions are a line away.

I remember trying out Julia for the first time. There weren't many libs but I found out about @pyimport and I was like "cool, let's try some stuff" and I found out that pretty much all I wrote was calls through Python bindings, so I thought "wait it's probably simpler to just use Python then", and left it at that.

Point is, I hope the ecosystem has gotten better last time I tried it ~3 years ago, and I also hope the interoperability didn't turn out to be "too good" for the ecosystem's own health.

The ecosystem is pretty amazing.
