    I’ve always wanted to explore julia, I’ve used it for a few things but never had the time to make something decently sized. Anyone here have any experience with it?

      Tangentially, how does Julia compare to R and Python? (Not asking to you specifically, but extending your question; hope that's okay.) Especially for statistics.

        Much faster if you use the type system, not as many packages (yet) as R in statistics. But more labs and researchers are adopting it so it may change in the future. The documentation for the packages is not as great as in R though. I think it's a great sub for numpy, scipy, maybe even simpy soon. In terms of ML/DL I'm not sure, but there are people who prefer Julia's flux to tensorflow or pytorch. In terms of stats, I'll use it instead of R but only because I like to develop packages and play with the low level implementation. But I think if you just want out-of-the-box statistical analysis, R is going to be better (not to speak of the incredible tidyverse).

        There's some discussion here, but no real answers.
