maybe this is of interest to some of you: "Which programming language is best for economic research: Julia, Matlab, Python or R?" https://voxeu.org/article/which-programming-language-best-economic-research?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter
It's a strange article in some places: They claim that Python has clumsy syntax for matrix multiplication, but they seem to have missed that the @ operator was introduced just for that in Python 3.5 two years ago or so. This is especially strange since that post is supposed to be an update to the current state of affairs.
It's a pitty that people did not consider the gretl project. I am wondering whether "we" may re-run the same experiments for gretl for getting an idea how gretl would position. https://www.modelsandrisk.org/appendix/speed_2020/
Having comparisons is of course good, but personally I don't think that gretl/hansl really wants to be a competitor for the "best programming language to do economic research" (in general). In my view the scope is much more focussed on econometrics. I'm a little afraid that otherwise there might be misunderstandings and disappointments. But of course we know that in some areas gretl is extremely competitive. cheers sven _______________________________________________ Gretl-users mailing list -- gretl-users@gretlml.univpm.it To unsubscribe send an email to gretl-users-le...@gretlml.univpm.it Website: https://gretlml.univpm.it/postorius/lists/gretl-users.gretlml.univpm.it/
