Python vs. R

It is very difficult to say which one I like more.

Jupter vs. RMarkdown

• RMarkDown: quick edit for beautiful report, compile is slow
• Jupyter: console in web, flexible, but sometimes you will fall into chaos
• Both can integrate different language

Speed:

• Python > R

Community:

• R has more users in no computer science community

Time Series:

• R has very good tutorials and packages for time series.

Image processing:

• Since Python is faster than R, Python is more suitable for image processing

Dataframe:

• R: dplyr
• Python: pandas

Conclusion:

Master the two languages, your will find many friends. 🙂
