After a few years of programming in both Python and R, I still struggle with this. Which language is the best language to use for Data Science? I like to think of myself as a technologist with a Statistics degree who is dabbling in Data Science. But, even I can’t shy away from the easy to use aspects of R. The allure of the R programming language stayed with me even as I ventured into Pandas, Numpy and Scipy. Python’s robust packages in machine learning frankly amaze me. It’s literally a one-stop shop. At the same time, it literally takes me less than 30 minutes to run simply statistical analysis in R to explore my dataset. Machine Learning and Deep Learning packages are now becoming the norm in R as well.
