It seems like there's a lot of libraries for plotting in Julia now. Does anyone know how good interoperability between Julia and R is? I have a lot of workflows in R and Python using some pretty niche bio informatics libraries, but Julia just seems...better.



I don't use it personally, but RCall.jl[1] is the main R interop package in Julia. You could call libraries that have no equivalent in Julia using that and write your own analyses in Julia instead.

A lot of things that would need a library in R can be done in Julia directly. I would suggest doing your analysis in R or python and saving as an Arrow or hfds and then plotting in julia to start with.
