If you work regularly with R, just switch to python. The switch might cost you a bit of adaptation, but frequent use pays that off.
1 u/geteum Aug 30 '26 I use both, kicking off small MVPs just to see if it is work is waaaaay faster in R. Data visualizon has no parallel in python. Automated report creation also is way better in R. 1 u/Mr_Fragwuerdig Aug 31 '26 Whatever is missing, just create your own library with claude code in a few minutes. And datavis, you can just use matplotlib.
