From my experiences R is easy for statistician to learn and Python is easier for cs people to learn. Post ignore the fact that R usually have bleeding edge statistic package out there most of the time compare to Python. I'm going to learn Python but because I believe their Neural Network libraries are better. And it makes me better rounded but I'm not going to pretend as if Python is some how faster than R. It doesn't matter. These two languages are for modeling stage. Once your model hit production people are using something else C++, Java, etc.. Also seems like his father isn't well rounded enough to pick up another language. Which leads to learn and play with as many different language out there especially paradigm, it'll make you a better programmer in general and you'll pick up language faster. Because of similar paradigm and because syntax evolve over time or adapted from other languages.
