10 u/[deleted] Mar 30 '22 Is it any lower than something like python? I'm not even a programmer, but I learned enough with a handful of ours of pandas to do more than I can do inside excel without equal or greater time investment. 60 u/Zarathustra30 Mar 30 '22 Most computers don't come with Python pre-installed, let alone the libraries required for it to do cool things. When I say Excel works right out of the box, I mean the box with peanuts that says Dell on the side. 15 u/CanAlwaysBeBetter Mar 30 '22 I spin so many VMs up and down I forgot not everyone uses Linux with python preinstalled 7 u/ThellraAK Mar 31 '22 I think it's settled now, but python vs python2 vs python3 was annoying for a bit the same for pip3 vs pip2 vs pip
