There are lots of great languages and you should use whatever works for you (and your use case) but holy hell do I love #python.

I enjoy python more but the work that
@rstudio /@had et al. did with tidyverse made it much more competative (for me). Plus...@dataandme is pretty cool.1 reply 0 retweets 4 likes -

I can do both… Don't act all shocked, Lana! (Seriously, though, reticulate has made it buttery for me as an R-dominant user to get my Python on)pic.twitter.com/ZkyjZ8YAUK

Yeah, that's the thing for me - R is like a meta-language at this point, with reticulate, dbplyr, sparklyr, versions of keras & tensorflow, etc. Not just for Python. So, certainly not a competition, joking aside, but, does Python have comparable "meta-language" capabilities?

Very srs question, as I'm aware of things like sqlalchemy, but I am a Python toddler, so I can't even try it for comparison, and I don't know anyone who can compare. Oh, and then, aren't there Python analogs for Shiny?

I haven't seen a good shiny analog. In fact, that was one of the startups I was considering. Even bought http://falsifiable.com given that (and other) motivations.

Bokeh? People have said the word "bokeh" at me before on this.
