I played with it for a weekend but it’s still in it’s infancy for sure. IMO in terms of the data world it would take a couple years and a significant development investment to even compete with python. But even then I still would put money on Python staying as the go to for data.

If your asking because you want to learn another language you should learn Scala.

Lovely. Thank you.

performance-wise, it's supposed to be faster while mai taining a lot of the readibility that python is known for.

I havent followed it for a while so not sure if the support for Julia in terms of specialized stats packages have caught up yet

After a hard reset on travel points (got none after Covid and change to industry) how would you start over? Which credit card is best for travel points? Airline? Starwood or Bonvoy? Avis or ??

At one time I had status on most airlines and hotels but I never bothered to focus on accumulating points since it seemed like they were infinite and I booked on convenience. Oh have times changed! I even let go of Amex platinum, just wasn’t worth it to me. Base airport LAX/SNA so no airline pref.

PwC or EY Houston Tax?

Realizing why agencies are still struggling to find enough Business Affairs employees. And know several people who this has happened to. One is pay. Salaries have been going up the last year or two. And some agencies aren’t raising their pay as fast as others. But another big factor is employers are trying to find candidates that check every box. So if a candidate has 19 out of 20 required skills or experiences, they aren’t being given offers. Even if that one piece can be easily taught …

Anyone regret going into data and analytics? Sometimes I feel like I'm too dumb for it. I don't have a statistics background to really take things to the next level, and my colleagues don't have the hours to help me. My technical skills are OK, but nothing to shout at, especially when I don't really have the interest to learn. Maybe I should just bite the bullet and steer my career to a boring client-side position instead.
