Funny, he's dead right about tidyverse, but I've learned to ignore Hadley's packages for not playing well with ESS. Snake case is moronic anyway. Someone noted below that python is better for deploys: true. R is better for interactive use, and has a better package universe, though quality control for packages is vastly lower than something like scikit learn. R also completely dominates in classical stats, which is generally bread and butter compared to having the latest goofy neural thing. Assuming you actually do data science.
