R is a wonderful language if you chose to get used to it.  I love it.  I&#x27;ve even used R in production quality assurance to check for regressions in data (not the statistical regressions).  I see countless R posts where people try to compare it to Python to find the one true language for working with data.  Article after article, there clearly isn&#x27;t a winner.  People like R and Python for different reasons.  I think it&#x27;s actually quite intuitive to think about everything in terms of vectors with R.  I like the functional aspects of R.  I wish R was a bit faster but I am pretty sure the people who maintain R are working on that.  You can&#x27;t beat the enormous library that R has.
