Having a fascinating time at #Juliacon2023 at #MIT Spoke about my Julia package on conducting meta analysis “MetaAnalysis” yesterday.
@arinbasu1 are you happy with Julia as a language? You left R completely?
I use #Julialang everyday now as my main language but I also use #Rstats because two languages are better than one and each have their strengths. But definitely more Julia and will continue. It is very exciting and has a thriving community of users and developers.
@arinbasu1 @lf_araujo Curious which R packages you use? For me, brms and the packages like bayesplot are my reason to go back to R from Julia.
@jerlich @arinbasu1 No, thanks for sharing.
Thanks Jeff! I was exactly looking for this. I was about to write that we can possibly reproduce OpenMx codes in Julia.
@arinbasu1 @jerlich Yes, possibly. But a gigantic undertaking, nevertheless.
This is great work but some components are failing. I will raise the PRs once I return from Julia on.
OpenMx is fantastic. I believe, (have not tried), we can port OpenMx concepts to play well in Julia.
@jerlich @arinbasu1 @lf_araujo Agreed. I love my setting with brms, bayesplot, and marginals. I need to get into #julialang more often.
@jerlich @arinbasu1 For me it's OpenMx. At some point OpenMx will be rewritten in another language, hopefully core devs choose one of these new languages.
