    Metaprogramming tools for DataFrames

  • I do get the feeling though that Python people are considered “more sophisticated” as programmers than R. But I think Julia is gaining traction now and it can handle general programming tasks better than R can, while still remaining pretty similar so its worth learning too. It has DataFramesMeta.jl: https://github.com/JuliaData/DataFramesMeta.jl. Works like dplyr.

  • siuba

    Python library for using dplyr like syntax with pandas and SQL

  • Btw Python got something similar to dplyr recently: https://github.com/machow/siuba. Never again will I be doing pandas chaining when I do use Python lol.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
