Programming languages every data scientist should know

Welcome back! Data science is an awesome field with exploding growth, if you’re planning on becoming a data scientist, here are some of the best programming languages you should know. Now, different companies use different languages, but on average, these are some of the most common languages you may come across. With this long introduction out of the way, let’s take a look at them!
