Breaking data identities: Making a case for language-agnosticity
summary
Argues that being language‑agnostic speeds problem solving, backed by a PhD-era example where reading other fields produced concrete fixes. Shows cross‑language reuse: ggplot vs plotnine (same grammar of graphics code under the hood), data‑wrangling ideas from dplyr mutate/pipe translated into Python variants, and practical wins from embedding tiny JavaScript nuggets into Shiny or HTML/CSS for UI and reports. Claims these mixes are small, concrete, and effective.
