Programming for Data Science the Polyglot approach: Python R SQL

In this post, I discuss a possible new approach to teaching Programming for Data Science. Programming for Data Science is focussed on the R vs. Python question. Everyone seems to have a view including the venerable Nature journal (Programming – Pick up Python). On first impressions, this Polyglot approach (ability to master multiple languages) sounds complex. Why teach 3 languages together? Outside of Data science, I also co-founded a social enterprise to teach Computer Science to kids Feynlabs.
