R vs Python






whether one should use R or Python when performing their day-to-day data analysis tasks. Both Python and R are amongst the most popular languages for data analysis, and have their supporters and opponents. While Python is often praised for being a general-purpose language with an easy-to-understand syntax, R’s functionality is developed with statisticians in mind, thereby giving it field-specific advantages such as great features for data visualization.

Our new infographic”Data Science Wars: R vs Python” is therefore for everyone interested in how these two (statistical) programming languages relate to each other. The infographic explores what the strengths of R are over Python and vice versa, and aims to provide a basic comparison between these two programming languages from a data science and statistics perspective.
