Look... You've got to stop asking whether to learn R or Python. First, you're asking the wrong question. Second, you're probably just procrastinating. So I'll help you pick one, once and for all, then you need to get started!

Thanks for watching! The truth is you can't go wrong with either, but if you have particular goals, then one might make sense over the other, to start.

@bassamahmed1254 Жыл бұрын

I agree with everything you stated except for the community thing. I instantly found help for R because it's more specialized and focused and it's followers are more dedicated.

@AaronMOliver Жыл бұрын

That's completely fair actually. The R community is very passionate, and highly focused.

As a biologist, many pipelines seem to use both R and Python. I got some R training at uni, so I'll learn Python now, by myself. Python is a bit more common and I'm not actually writing my own scripts at this stage, just running other people's, but Python is more useful for fixing/editing those scripts (because there often is something that needs changing).

@bouseuxlatache4140 8 ай бұрын

i started R almost 1,5 years and am enjoying the tool. however many colleagues only use Python and seem to be annoyed with the R code. this is due to the fact that my company is working with MS tools, and microsoft decided to go all in with Python. i feel the pressure to learn coming closer.

Well Python offers 10-20x more jobs than R atleast in my country. So if a person's goal is to get a job & have plenty of opportunities then I think Python is the language. Being a non programming & more from excel background I choose R and the whole moving up the ladder has now become a big question for me as in to move with R/data.table, Spraklyr ..etc etc .. or with Python/pyspark etc etc friendly environment. I think because of the tech firms domination in the market (instead of Banks/Inv. B like earlier) Python is necessary & R is just optional as this doesn't show up as a preference in most of job opportunities (my experience from the interviews & opportunities that I came across in my country).

Great video Aaron. Can you do an update on the visualization gap between R. & Python?

@gwangjinkim 7 ай бұрын

There is zero visualization gap. I think he doesn't know R and Python well enough. I used both, R and Python now for 7+ years. At the beginning, R seemed to be better in visualization (ggplot2), but Python quickly catched up (seaborn, and now even more newer package). There is zero visualization gap now. Even ShinyR is now available for Python. => pip intall shiny => there you go!

There is now plotnine which is ggplot2 for Python.

R is for statistics, Python is for data science. If you want to do deep learning, then surely Python. If you only do statistics most of your work, then R is easier.

I know this video is old, but like when you mentioned jupyter notebooks for python, it's kinda baffling that you didn't mention the fact that R should be fully support in jupyter, since the idea with those is mixed code blocks. So you can have markdown blocks and python blocks and R blocks, Julia and even c blocks if you hack it enough. I watched this video because I'm already fairly proficient in python and was thinking should I learn R and when you mentioned both, Jupyter is the first thing that comes to mind

@VKjkd 8 ай бұрын

I would say R. You can get going pretty fast. I love both languages. R changed my life in many ways. I would also develop advanced excel skills. You don’t need VBA, but formulas, pivot tables and formulas (building dashboards) are great. You really won’t go wrong starting with R in a business analytic setting.

@@nifftbatuff676 It's not whether Python has better tools or not for visualizations. You can create great visualizations with both languages. My point was that when people say that R has better visualizations, it means that they don't know Python well enough. So my advice... pick a language and learn it as good as you can.
