Is Python better than R?
It depends on what the language is being used to accomplish. For example, people tend to start counting at 1, so R begins counts at 1. Computer scientists, however, prefer zero-indexing, so Python begins counts at 0. R syntax is catered more to statistics, data parsing, and machine learning. Python is more typically used for production applications, including machine learning.
