In addition, the Environment pane now displays a summary of Python objects available in the main module when the reticulate REPL is active, and Python objects can now be viewed and explored within the RStudio data viewer and object explorer.

The RStudio IDE now comes with a Python environment and object explorer, and the default Python interpreter to be used by RStudio / reticulate can now be customized in the Global Options pane. To facilitate this, a number of improvements have been made to the products in the RStudio range, both commercial and open source. The developers say that many data science teams today are bilingual, using both R and Python in their work. RStudio is an integrated development environment (IDE) for R which includes a code console, syntax-highlighting editor, and tools for plotting, history, debugging and workspace management. It is like trying to learn a new language by using google translate.The developers at RStudio have announced a number of improvements designed to make it easier to use R and Python together in a single data science project, including more options for native Python coding in the RStudio IDE, including a Python environment and object explorer. Also, if you are new to Java or programming I would abstain from any IDE,īecause IDEs hinder the process of really learning a language IMO. Especially the R-integration in emacs is very solid. As a consequence, I use emacs for Perl and R. They do not provide the same richness of auto-(write my code for me) features as the Java environment. Also, while plugins for perl and R exist, If I wanted to use it for a quick perl script, I'd have that script finished and debugged in emacs while eclipse wouldn't even have completed loading yet.

Eclipse is a heavyweight (memory, slow response), actually for most scripting tasks in bioinformatics it is way oversized. Other IDEs like NetBeans will most likely be as good or even better.

I am using Eclipse IDE solely for Java, where it really shines, by providing auto-comepletion (makes you a lazy programmer), auto correction (makes you even more lazy) on the fly documentation browsing, subversion integration, code generation for web-services, and another gazillion of features and plug-ins I haven't even found yet.
