You may not like R (and I do totally understand that), but it's probably ahead of Python in specialised statistical (i.e. non unstructured ML) tools and packages.
Python is definitely better if you want to interact with a GPU and/or do "modern ML" (i.e. neural nets).
- czbond 4y agoThe ugh was a personal comment. I learned programming OO style (C++) and can go as far as scripted - but R seems like a Math professor went on an acid trip and made a language.
- disgruntledphd2 4y agoYeah, I get it. I learned R first, so I was really irritated by all the OO/mutable state stuff in Python when I learned it. I guess it's what you learn first that shapes your mind the most.
