Great comparison. However, I find R&#x27;s syntax as obtuse and baroque. Like a shovel with a compartment that carries tweezers. Advocates tend to argue that for moving dirt, this &#x27;R&#x27; shovel is far more precise than an ordinary &#x27;Python&#x27; shovel. But Python is in fact more like the toolshed from which both tools are housed plus a whole lot more.
