Package manager for biologists and purpose made for data science makes me think of R. But if its true, i never knew you can write inline c++

[–] merari42@lemmy.world 26 points 2 years ago (2 children)

RCpp is crazy good. You can super easily write Cpp inline with R code, it is easy to use and half of the tidyverse is written in it.

[–] grimdeter@lemmy.ml 11 points 2 years ago

I saw RCpp in my package manager, but I thought that it is not for users and just a dependancy. Maybe I will look into that

How to write a package in R

Step 1: Use C++

if it's* true

to everybody downvoting: read the username

i wonder if this is a bot? it doesn't have the bot label

[–] Yax@feddit.de 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Bot or not, it's no tits!

notitsbot

Most sane language designers stop at embedding C.

C++ is really taking it up to 11.

[–] nieceandtows@programming.dev 19 points 2 years ago

Must be python, because it's my favorite, and I reject this image.

Purpose made for Data-science

Uhhh... R?

That, MATLAB, and Python are the only languages I know of used in that field, and it's not MATLAB or Python lol. I don't know anything about R tho

[–] h30x@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 years ago (2 children)

No, Julia. LLVM compiled scientific language

[–] merari42@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Na this is about R

[–] KindaABigDyl@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago

Oh actually I have heard of that as well

[–] RustyShackleford@programming.dev 13 points 2 years ago

R is for Removed by moderator.

Should've included:
ridiculously good at plotting if you can figure out the correct syntaxes

[–] merari42@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Also multiple systems included. the old base plotting from the 90s, lattice for really custom things, ggplot as the most humanely understandable and reasonable system for composing plots and great interfaces to plotly and d3.js

[–] Ironfacebuster@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

It has to be Kepler, my terrible home grown interpreted language that has none of these features!

JK it's gotta be JavaScript

[–] bobburger@fedia.io 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Should include "has duckplyr" which is bad ass in the few weeks I've been using it.

[–] h30x@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 years ago

That's how Julia looks. https://julialang.org/

[–] Bye@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Also my fav OP :)

Rcpp is probably the best thing to ever exist.

I reject tidyverse though

[–] lowleveldata@programming.dev 3 points 2 years ago

F#? I know it's probably not but I love F#

[–] anzo@programming.dev 3 points 2 years ago

Best IDE ever, help pages with references to statistics journal articles, and the most useful feature: pipe()

[–] devfuuu@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

The many oop systems makes me think perl.

[–] DumbAceDragon@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Was thinking Nim because it's a couple of these.
