What Hacker News says

This illustrates the point perfectly. Julia is attempting this and has a beachhead with Dataframes.jl. Confusingly though, Tidier.jl isn't really analogous to R's Tidyverse. It's more like one of a handful of meta-packages around Dataframes.jl. Then there are Grammar of Graphics (ggplot was Tidyverse's first star) style plotting libraries that Julia has been building. I'm probably most excited about Algebra of Graphics (https://github.com/MakieOrg/AlgebraOfGraphics.jl/) as part of the Makie Plots ecosystem. It does still feel a bit like Julia community can't decide between following Matplotlib or R's Grid/Ggplot approach. The seeds of a Tidyverse for Julia are there, but it'll take some time to achieve the consistency and maturity of the original Tidyverse.
In Tidyverse 2.0.0
