While R has traditionally been the programming language of choice for data scientists, it is quickly ceding ground to Python. While there are several reasons for the shift, perhaps the biggest one is that Python is general purpose and comparatively easy to learn whereas R remains a somewhat complex programming environment to master. In a world increasingly dependent on data and starved for data scientists, &#8220;easy&#8221; wins.
