      Reading about @JuliaLanguage as #opensource alternative to Matlab, then @o_guest's posts about Matlab @SfPRocur popped up on my TL 😀 I want to try out more OS software in 2019. Anyone using Julia for neuroimage processing, statistics and visualisation? Tools and resources? Thx!

      Yeah that thread by @o_guest really reignited my urge to get away from Matlab. Esp... That bit about the lack of compatibility about octave and Matlab... Also made me realize how much bad coding habits I am going to have to unlearn... Sigh...

      I’ll have to see if I can find the very detailed blogpost that claimed - with evidence - that Julia wasn’t such a great speed improvement over properly optimised Python. And Python has two advantages: ubiquity and super-readable, simple syntax.

      Thx, sounds like a useful read. I mean, Python seems like obvious choice in fMRI processing given existing tools, libraries and community. My main interest in Julia is more curiosity driven. After a quick search I found a Julia NIfTI reader, but nth else.https://github.com/JuliaIO/NIfTI.jl …

      Here it is. A bit old. And disclaimer: I am not knowledgable enough to evaluate the claims. https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/blogs/jfp/entry/Python_Meets_Julia_Micro_Performance?lang=en …

      If you're asking me, learn one higher and one lower level language at least. So C/C++ and Python, for example, would be a good choice. When you need to write something custom that's fast you can drop into Cython. That's how I do it.

          I agree, for those further long the scripting/programming spectrum. For those at the other end (e.g. “plain” psychology), R and Python is maybe a decent mix.

          One of my mentors insisted everyone should also learn at least one Assembly language. I think that was a step too far. Maybe read one short program.

          TBF we did do that in undergrad. But I have no idea how relevant or helpful it is. Maybe in that it helps with confidence in knowing "what computers do"...

          That's why I suggest reading some. We were writing mostly 370 Assembler at the time. I showed him an article that said modern compilers produced faster code than most assembly programmers, but he just laughed and said "most". 😀
