RCall.jl VS Genie.jl

I don't use it personally, but RCall.jl[1] is the main R interop package in Julia. You could call libraries that have no equivalent in Julia using that and write your own analyses in Julia instead.

You can have your cake and eat it with the likes of

* PythonCall.jl - https://github.com/cjdoris/PythonCall.jl

I tend to use Julia for most things and then just dip into another language’s ecosystem if I can’t find something to do the job and it’s too complex to build myself

To inter-operate Julia with the R language, the RCall package is used. Run the following commands on the Julia REPL

If you need to bindings to your existing R packages then Julia is the way. Check out RCall.jl

I have no experience with R, but maybe this will be of use: https://github.com/JuliaInterop/RCall.jl

You can use RCall to use R from Julia: https://github.com/JuliaInterop/RCall.jl

I worked with R and Python during the last 3 years but learning and dabbling with Julia since 0.6. Since the availability of [PyCall.jl] and [RCall.jl], the transition to Julia can already be easier for Python/R users.

I agree that most of the time data wrangling is super confortable in R due to the syntax flexibility exploited by the big packages (tidyverse/data.table/etc). At the same time, Julia and R share a bigger heritage from Lisp influence that with Python, because R is also a Lisp-ish language (see [Advanced R, Metaprogramming]). My main grip from the R ecosystem is not that most of the perfomance sensitive packages are written in C/C++/Fortran but are written so deeply interconnect with the R environment that porting them to Julia that provide also an easy and good interface to C/C++/Fortran (and more see [Julia Interop] repo) seems impossible for some of them.

I also think that Julia reach to broader scientific programming public than R, where it overlaps with Python sometimes but provides the Matlab/Octave public with an better alternative. I don't expected to see all the habits from those communities merge into Julia ecosystem. On the other side, I think that Julia bigger reach will avoid to fall into the "base" vs "tidyverse" vs "something else in-between" that R is now.

Julia seems to be doing a better job catching up to R in this space than Python. I haven't used it personally, but the demos of Genie Framework are impressive: https://github.com/GenieFramework/Genie.jl / https://genieframework.com/

Hi everyone! I’m Adrian, co-founder of Genie Cloud. Genie Cloud is the no-code platform to quickly build & deploy Julia web apps. It is designed for R&D and data science teams using Julia, who need to share their work with interactive web apps.

Genie Cloud is very simple: import (or write) the Julia code, build the GUI with the drag & drop editor, and deploy the apps in one-click. No frontend code, server stack or hosting to worry about. With Genie Cloud you can build anything, from interactive dashboards to ML demos to production-grade apps.

Genie Cloud is built on top of the open source Genie Framework (https://genieframework.com/), the most popular Julia web framework (I’m also the creator and maintainer of Genie Framework).

At the moment we are in private beta. You can learn more and sign up to get access here: https://www.geniecloud.io/. Looking forward to your thoughts and questions!

I used Julia through my PhD but then started working at a consulting company and had to use Python except for few proof of concepts I built in Julia. Luckily for me, now I'm working at Genie so I finally get to use Julia professionally :)

Have you checked https://genieframework.com/? It's the most popular web dev framework in Julia.

Hi! Genie Builder is a free VSCode plugin that makes it easy to build web GUIs for Julia applications (and in future, Python apps too). Users can simply drag & drop UI elements to create interactive dashboards and data apps, without writing any frontend code.

The tool is designed for data scientists and researchers who need to expose their data models to business users with an interactive web application, but lack the software development skills to build one.

Genie Builder completely eliminates the need to learn frontend development to code the UI. And very soon, we’re also going to support one-click cloud deployments to make it easy to build AND deploy data apps - no frontend nor devops skills required.

I’m Adrian, the creator of the open-source Genie web framework ([https://genieframework.com/](https://genieframework.com/)). Genie offers low-code libraries for building data applications - just like Streamlit or Dash, but for JuliaLang. We developed Genie Builder because of feedback from our open source community who needs more productive data tooling.

Yep, I'm a PHP dev and often do simple JS/jQuery to support my backend code. I have a very general interest in data science and embedded programming, meaning one day I might start doing something with them, but for now, I'm interested in those languages for web development. The following frameworks were especially interesting

Go: https://github.com/gin-gonic/gin

Rust: https://rocket.rs/

Julia: https://genieframework.com/

Check Genie. They're working on an app builder called Genie Cloud.
