Stop staying you can't put R in prod.  

I made a blog post with my thoughts and reactions.

Josiah Parry - R is still fast: a salty reaction to a salty blog post

@josiah At my university, no one uses R anymore in the scientific and numerical fields where it is supposed to shine. Either Python, Julia or sadly Matlab. Of course, no one uses it in computer science too. For my bubble, R is dead. Please don't get offended by it. It is just my observation.

I wouldn't put any of R, Python or Julia in production though. In my own opinion, they should only be used for interactive programming and scripting (about one file).

@mo8it interesting. I think not putting Python or R into production is a bad take. Good R and good Python is fast and typically uses interfaces to fast things written in C++ or C or Rust or Fortran. It’s a bit elitist ngl

And the Julia thing is super niche :P but VERY fast!

@josiah Why is it elitist? It might be strict, but elitist?
@mo8it maybe elitist is the wrong word? But it implies that only low level languages like C/++ / Rust should be put into prod which is a yuge ask for most
