Julia support #75

Open michaelsklar opened 7 years ago

michaelsklar commented 7 years ago

I would love to use dsc with Julia in combination with R. Would it be hard to implement Julia as a first class citizen like R and python?

Thanks for the suggestion @michaelsklar . I think it should not be too hard once we figure out a good way to communicate data between Julia and R -- I'm talking about Julia being able to save arbitrary Dict into some format that can be easily loaded in R as a List, and vise versa. It seems there is the read_rda function in Julia which potentially can take care of the read part. I did not seem to find a "write to R data" function, though. Would you give me a pointer if you are aware of a solution?

BTW we are conceiving some fundamental changes in DSC2 syntax and data extraction; I'm also working on interface running DSC2 on a remote computer. Currently things may not work or and will surely not compatible with later versions but I think the dust should be settled in a couple of months.
