I understand this is a marketing piece but as a data scientist the narrative doesn't resonate with me at all. Are there any data scientists that have actually had an experience like this?

There are many more resources for learning R, given that the language is older. These resources have become much better in recent years and I think there has been no better time to learn R. Probably the best introduction to data science in

This is similar to the difference between WGS84 and NAD83 (North American Datum 1983). WGS84 is defined by the average of stations world wide while NAD83 is defined in a way that it is relatively constant across North America. NAD83 initial
