The truly important reason to try the #positron R/Python editor is that it can work in parallel with another R session open in #RStudio for a different project...

Also amazed by the #Pluto notebook for #Julia scientific work. One of its nice features is that the associated file is in text format and the code can be easily extracted. Not yet ready to switch from #ggplot to #VegaLite though.

Is anyone here familiar (or got in touch) with Julia? Since DataCamp calls it the fastest growing programming language and it reads like something I'd like to learn. But actually I'm busy with learning R at the moment and wanted to learn Python second. Should I learn Julia, too?
