    Probably barking up the wrong tree here, but boy do I hate R. The documentation is the worst, combined with the poor r studio experience. Vscode makes notebooks a bit better but lost a lot of functionality as far as I could tell.

    Laughed so hard when I this course once they told us to do ML in R with Keras … By calling the python API.

    Somewhere in a backroom, there’s a hamster named Julia. In a hamster ball.

    I considered looking at R once. As a data scientist and an experienced Python user, maybe I’ll see something useful. Then I learned that R uses <- for variable assignment and = for equality evaluation, and I stopped learning because I would make that mistake if I learned to switch back and forth for the rest of my life.

    I feel like some people are using python just so they can say that they use python

        Trust me, the eng team doesn’t want to fuck with Python either.

          Meh lots of python stacks out there now, especially data pipes.

          then typescript front ends.

          Point is no one wants to support r in production
