Base R vs Python

Developers should learn Base R as it is the prerequisite for effectively using R in data science, statistics, and research applications, enabling tasks like data cleaning, exploratory analysis, and basic modeling meets python is widely used in the industry and worth learning. Here's our take.

Base R

Nice Pick

Developers should learn Base R as it is the prerequisite for effectively using R in data science, statistics, and research applications, enabling tasks like data cleaning, exploratory analysis, and basic modeling

Pros

  • +It is essential for understanding R's object-oriented and functional programming paradigms, and for working in environments where package installation is restricted, such as in some corporate or academic settings
  • +Related to: r-programming, tidyverse

Cons

  • -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

Python

Python is widely used in the industry and worth learning

Pros

  • +Widely used in the industry
  • +Related to: django, flask

Cons

  • -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

The Verdict

Use Base R if: You want it is essential for understanding r's object-oriented and functional programming paradigms, and for working in environments where package installation is restricted, such as in some corporate or academic settings and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.

Use Python if: You prioritize widely used in the industry over what Base R offers.

🧊
The Bottom Line
Base R wins

Developers should learn Base R as it is the prerequisite for effectively using R in data science, statistics, and research applications, enabling tasks like data cleaning, exploratory analysis, and basic modeling
