R is the best programming language
Welcome back! Yesterday I wrote an article explaining why Python was the best programming language out there, here is a link to it:
Now, let’s talk about why R is the best programming language you should learn! R is mostly used for data related projects, but it could still be used for projects outside of data processing, let’s take a look!
Calling Other languages
One of the biggest features with R is the ability of calling other languages with your R environment, this includes Python and Java! Personally, I’ve built a few projects that has called on Python code and brought in the outputs straight to my R environment, this brings the capability of Python to our R projects!

One Of Data Science Most Common Languages
Next up, R is by far one of the most common programming languages I’ve seen for data science, although Python still maybe a bit more popular as of right now. I’ve made a few articles talking about the most popular programming languages for data science in different companies, it always seems like R is one of the most popular languages still. Without a doubt if you’re planning on learning a programming language for data science, R is one of the best languages to learn for sure!
More Than Just Data Processing
One of the biggest complaints about R is that “it’s only used for data related tasks”, although there is truth in that statement, there has been massive improvements to the R landscape. With RShiny, you can actually build out front ends (GUI’s) for your data applications. By using a package like RShiny (and some other packages as well), you can…
