          Have you thought about trying #JuliaLang? If you were coming from Matlab and/or R, it may be a better fit that #Python for you.

          Possibly, but with 15 yrs of #python & #rstats between us it's probably late. The extent of both ecosystems is what makes them so appealing.

          That's where PyCall and RCall would help you to move over to #JuliaLang without losing those ecosystems, plus call C and Fortran directly.
