Teach/learn one language and something for everyone > needing different language for each? Needn't be MATLAB though!

Agree with you, and good coders can/should diversify. But what to teach new students/coding novices?
-
that's a very different blog post which I might write at some point.
-
also a good coder by definition knows more than a couple languages and can pick up a new one in hours
-
I learned r in an afternoon and c over 3 days — this is a privilege of the kind of training one gets in compsci
-
I don't expect that in a psychology undergraduate
-
Ha, I was thinking at least masters student. Would love more coding (of any language) to be taught at undergrad though.
-
it is in my dept and previous depts

Ha, true! "Something for most" then? Python and R sufficient for many, but slow to switch without the neuroimagers too?
-
you mean slow switch to python? My lab except me is pretty much 100% neuroimaging and almost all use python
-
But how do they analyse? Colleague also analysed his EEG in Python, but by writing all own code. Practical for many?
