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.
Meh lots of python stacks out there now, especially data pipes.
then typescript front ends.
Point is no one wants to support r in production
Somewhere in a backroom, there’s a hamster named Julia. In a hamster ball.
I loved Julia in my data science classes. Codes like python, runs like c. Can also use it with bash by piping values in
Probably barking up the wrong tree here, but boy do I hate R. The documentation is the worst, combined with the poor r studio experience. Vscode makes notebooks a bit better but lost a lot of functionality as far as I could tell.
Laughed so hard when I this course once they told us to do ML in R with Keras … By calling the python API.
I’ve made such course and still feel sorry for the students. Was some legacy code just laying around.
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 like and despise R… WHY DO I HAVE TO COPY THE TEXT FROM MY CONSOLE INTO A SCRIPT TO ACTUALLY SAVE IT AS AN .R FILE???
Because it’s a console, not an IDE. But I see your frustration and does seem ridiculous
Oh how I wish this was the data scientists I work with
