made some plots in rust because I'm trying to have a nice day backend for frame generation

they're ugly as hell

try to find a better rust graphing library that makes nicer plots

I get threads with comments about how you should just roll your own

lmao rust, why am I not surprised

Can you call R / Tidyverse / Ggplot into your Rust code?

i wouldn't be surprised if there's a way to do so, but tbh i set myself a goal of keeping the entire website, frontend and backend, using rust only, with the only caveat obviously that i still have html and css for the pages and styling

partly this is as an exercise, but i also really disliked js when i used it

Science

convinced the highest value add to accelerating biological research is to put R in the fucking grave 

why are so many of the best biological analysis tools still in this garbage language

also i have a lot of experience with R because it still has a lot of the best libraries for bio graphing and analysis and i wish i fucking didn't

zero desire to touch R on a personal project

yeah I know enough to use it fine

but having shipped a tool to make it simpler for biologists to do functional protein prediction in a specific niche that was an unholy abomination of python, R, and cli tools wrapped together

i wish the entire ecosystem a pleasant dumpster fire as it's extremely difficult to package

Strong opinion 😅 I’ve come to like it but only because I used it throughout my PhD and got used to its quirks and idiosyncrasies. data.table in particular helped me tremendously for biggish data
