Why R is the best programming language
Welcome back! Recently, I’ve been talking about some of the highlights of each of the programming languages that i’m familiar with, the next language on this list is R, so let’s talk about why R maybe the best programming language to use. Now, I’m fully aware of the limitations that R has, but let’s just look at the positives in this article ☺️, with this long introduction out of the way, let’s get started!
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 actually build a GUI within R, check out the link below to learn more:
I’ve built out several projects with RShiny and to be completely honest, it’s almost always my go-to front end package.
