> R is increasingly blacklisted at large orgs. Eh, I call BS. Names and sources please. I know for a fact that R is used at all of FAANG and about a bazillion other "large orgs" too. I'm sure it's true that R is not used for customer-facing "web scale" products, but then again neither is any other language except for like two. Being good at programming is useful skill, but so is being good at statistics, and they are not interchangeable. "Productionizing a model" is not the only show in town when it comes to data analysis. Many programmers know shockingly little statistics. An equally large number of really strong statisicians prefer R, for good reasons. Orgs who simply refuse to hire those people do so at their peril.
