I like R myself but I think the problem is that most people really don’t like command line interfaces. R has a bit of an accessibility problem, basically.
Thanks for the info. I don't use R but it's pretty much the field standard for serious stats modelling of that type in Psych/CogNeuro/etc.. Python is pretty much the standard for other types, esp more ML stuff, in my area (CompCog). Altho many use Matlab, Lisp, C, etc.

My experience is that there’s nothing you can do in Matlab that you can’t do in R or Python and vice versa. Comes down to preferences and resources (Matlab isn’t cheap).

Yes, they are Turing complete.

I am not sure if you know but I have certain fEeLiNgS about Matlab...http://neuroplausible.com/matlab

I don’t disagree, I use Matlab cos I’m familiar with it and because of the aforementioned library of code. I’d probably try to steer students towards R myself.
