Python Overtaking R?
He uses statistics from Google Trends, Indeed job search terms, and Analytic Talent (DSC job database) to conclude that Python has overtaken R. One is led to ask if one group of users (say Python's) is a more active googler. Indeed, the search term analyzed is "Python Data Science." From this poll, they found out that "in 2017 Python ecosystem overtook R as the leading platform for Analytics, Data Science, Machine Learning." So, maybe Python is overtaking R. Despite this, I learned reading comments, that R is still preferred for tasks like survival analysis, time series forecasting, glmnet, Bayesian model averaging, and hierarchical modeling thanks to its well developed statistical packages.
