I'm not sure what about Jupyter makes Python more compelling in comparison to R. R is entirely usable in Jupyter Notebooks, and R Notebooks are, in my opinion, possibly superior to Jupyter notebooks in many ways. > and as more people realize that there's a benefit to simultaneously training researchers to run code as well as stats, I suspect we'll start to see an exodus from pure R solutions I'm not sure what you are saying here. I would actually argue that most of the Python data science toolchain is years behind what is available in R.

> I would actually argue that most of the Python data science toolchain is years behind what is available in R. I do not want to litigate this on HN, but the problem with R is the toolchain around your data science work. You've fit a model in R, and that's great! Now how do you get it into a real-time system? Or how do you test the software you wrote to train the model?

> R is entirely usable in Jupyter Notebooks Not for everybody, e.g., the Swirl R package (https://swirlstats.com/ https://swirlstats.com/) doesn't work in Jupyter, since Jupyter has limited support for R's many ways of getting interactive input from users.
