## Reviews

### "IDL is useful for astronomical research" — 3.0/5

> **Jennifer** | *18 January 2020* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: IDL is still widely used in astronomical research for various types of image processing and analysis. It is reliable since the syntax of the code rarely changes and programs that were written several years ago still compile properly.
> 
> **Cons**: It can be difficult to find support or make innovative figures as it is closed-source and requires a license to use.
> 
> IDL is a stable and useful tool for astronomical image analysis.
