- Maxion 5y agoAgree. One thing is very clear in the R vs. Python debate is that a lot of programmers seem to know either or, not both. They are different tools for different purposes.
- disgruntledphd2 5y agoI know both pretty well at this point, and would say that python is a much better language overall, but the stats/ML parts (especially pandas) are pretty inconsistent with both Python and themselves. That being said, R is amazing for exploratory work, while Python is better for integrating with the rest of the world.
