It is also a commonly-recommended language for beginners because it is relatively easy to pick up, and it can be used for so many things.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just a few years ago, Python didn\u2019t have many libraries built specifically for data analytics, artificial intelligence, or machine learning. Those days are long gone. There are now Python libraries and software packages for these and many other related tasks, including favorites like Sklearn, which make building machine learning models extremely straightforward.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because Python code is less specialized and has such an enormous community, data science applications built with it tend to be easier to maintain. It has more general reach, in terms of its <a href=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/what-python-is-used-for\/\">popularity and job potential<\/a>. Python is the second most popular language for data science jobs, and it\u2019s several spots ahead of R (both are beaten by SQL).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-r-for-data-science\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"r-for-data-science\"><\/span><strong>R for Data Science&nbsp;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/photo-1543320777-d4102f7e1aa3.jpg\" alt=\"Pirate figurine\" class=\"wp-image-4834\"\/><figcaption> Why don\u2019t pirates ever learn Python? They only like using \u2018Arrrrr!\u2019.&nbsp;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Researchers have spent two decades building the open source R language and its ecosystem for the specific task of statistical computing. There are now literally thousands of software packages for linear and nonlinear modeling, time series forecasting, statistical testing, and classification available in the Comprehensive R Archive Network, CRAN.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is important to <a href=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/how-to-learn-r\/\">learn R<\/a>. This is because R is very popular in academia and fairly popular in industry, both because of its scope and because it has a great deal of <a href=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/how-to-learn-data-visualization\/\">data visualization functionality<\/a>. This makes understanding and communicating the results of a project much easier..<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But despite being purpose-built for data science, it isn\u2019t as popular as Python or SQL. As of 2018, R was finding more and more use in industry, though Python remains ahead.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-is-python-or-r-better-for-data-science\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"is-python-or-r-better-for-data-science\"><\/span><strong>Is Python or R Better for Data Science?&nbsp;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/photo-1516544820488-4a99efa70a58.jpg\" alt=\"Two birds fighting \" class=\"wp-image-4835\"\/><figcaption> A demonstration of the fabled \u2018crane style\u2019 of martial arts.&nbsp;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Is Python better than R?<\/strong> In short, R is better for <strong>academia or research<\/strong> and Python is better for <strong>practical computer science<\/strong>.
