R and Python in the workplace - SuperDataScience - Big Data Analytics Careers Mentors Success

Since I primarily use R, I wanted to know what Python does better than R according to Python users. I didn't conduct a survey, so I went to the source of information on the internet: Reddit (and Quora – the scrawny little cousin of Reddit that makes you register before you can read posts). As I discerned from users' comments, Python is easier to learn than R [1, 2] with data analysis and machine learning facilitated with "pandas" and "scikit-learn". Python is a general purpose object-oriented programming language, whereas R is a complex programming environment one needs to master [3]. Being general purpose, users may already be familiar with Python when coding websites and other apps whereas R is focused on data analysis.
