Hi all,
I am new to Julia, I used to use R. And using R packages, the main difficulty for me is the choice of a package for a given task. Most of the time, there are many packages solving the same problem, so we have to choose. - A first possibility could be the TaskViews, but it is easy to see that around a third of all packages is listed in a TaskView, so being listed does not say anything about quality. - Thanks to Rstudio, it is possible to know how many times a given package was downloaded. It is an indication about package quality. But this indication is difficult to obtain, and not very reliable. - I heard that in Matlab, it is easy to know the experience about a package, or even a function of a package, compared to other similar functions in another packages. So, are there any plans to collect, store and share the experience on packages?
