[BioEdu] Lanuages and environments

[Piyush Mundra]

 I guess choice of language  also depends on the kind of work one is
targeting. I mean, if one is looking for  biological data analysis, machine
learning algorithm applications and other related stuffs, MATLAB or R should
be sufficient.

Also, 'R' has a very good library of bioinformatics data analysis....

I would appreciate expert views on this...:)
