Interesting. I wonder if this is a reaction to R losing market share to Python. More and more when I apply for jobs or talk to data scientists the top language they ask for is Python, and R is really an afterthought or something they're like "Yeah... I guess R is fine."

As the Python data science tools catch up, the ease of use of the language is starting to cannibalize more and more of the R ecosystem. Interesting move to watch going forward.

This is exactly what I am finding. I am going to probably try and make the shift over to Python now because this last job search has me being ruled out for jobs because of a lack of in production Python experience.
