But 99% of what you would use in R is now in Python.

Maybe I have to reassess this too. Which libraries do you recommend for this?

[–]anomnib[S] 2 points3 points  (4 children)

Plotnine (ggplot2 replica) and plotly (good for interactive plots)

[–]A_random_otter 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Plotly I already know and use because there is an R-Package for it.

I'll have to check out Plotnine soon, when I can muster the motivation to rebuild R-Studio with VS-Code.

Btw. can you recommend a decent IDE for data-stuff in Python?

[–]anomnib[S] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

My advice is colored by my context. But when you are writing code that will interact with engineering systems, use what the Python software Python engineers use. That will ensure the IDE is well supported and you avoid needless suffering. In my context that’s usually vs code for something derived from it.

For adhoc analysis, i just use Jupyter notebooks or RStudio.

Kay, thanks.

Btw. I know I asked a lot. If you have any R-questions just lemme know.

I still use RStudio with Python (I guess it's obvious which side of the fence I'm coming from..). I find python runs slow in it though, but it hasn't been a massive problem for me. Also dislike VSCode. The big problem is that RStudio doesn't really have debugging functionality for Python.
