@jeanmanguy which programming languages do you use for computational biology/bioinformatics?
@Areya I'm using R right now, but I also use python and C; and I build applications with javascript.
@jeanmanguy ah cool. I've been using R for a few years, but for my bioinformatics degree we learned everything in Perl, so I feel like a dinosaur. I'm trying to learn Python for Bioinformatics, though.
@Areya I personally don't like Perl, but that's a matter of taste. You need to find the language you are the most comfortable with. Python and R are great for bioinformatics right now because of the number of packages that need the active communities. At the end the language does not matter, at every task you need to find the right tools, perl could be one, especially for string manipulations.
