Funny, I'll never say that R itself is very academic. The environment maybe, the users sure but the language is very much an mutated Lisp with vectorized operation. Same for the python stuff, I never hit that problem working a lot with it but most of the time when I wanted to check a lib, I landed in C++ aka I am not sure to understand how to read the code. What in R made it feel academic for you?
