  • Ultimate Language Shootout: R
    By: Natasha Polishchuk
    Experience Level: Novice
    Length: 5 Minutes
    Description:

    In keeping with the proposed theme, I'd be happy to introduce R and compare/contrast it to Python. I'd like to talk especially about how well suited R is to Statistics, and how Pandas dataframes were inspired by R dataframes.  I've used both in my career as a data analyst and now data engineer, and initially prefered R though I've come around to the Python side.
