Every choice starts with this: Do you see others as equal to you? We all have an inner compass—call it conscience, spirit, or whatever—which we leverage when making that choice. 1/7


I hate R, but I took a professor's R project and using my knowledge from Java, C, and .net perf I optimized the R code to run in 20 seconds instead of 20 minutes.

I've observed C++, C, Haskell, OCaml, Rust and Go communities. Everyone says that their language is expressive, performant, versatile, high-level and prevents issues (especially if used properly). Unfortunately, this level of developer advocacy only harms trust. It's impossible…
