I considered looking at R once. As a data scientist and an experienced Python user, maybe I’ll see something useful. Then I learned that R uses <- for variable assignment and = for equality evaluation, and I stopped learning because I would make that mistake if I learned to switch back and forth for the rest of my life.
You can also use = to assign variables in R it’s just not good practice
I love R, we are best friends. Life is wonderful when basically every function is vectorized by default.
The tidyverse is my favorite place
I feel like some people are using python just so they can say that they use python
It’s more because when ds has to hand over their work to the eng team the eng team doesn’t want to fuck with r
Trust me, the eng team doesn’t want to fuck with Python either.
