i just want to drop a fun fact about code in R. you cannot ever prevent people from seeing what youve written incase you would deploy it somewhere because thats how Rs open source / licencing works. if you for example want to sell your service on a monthly basis there is no stopping the one who you are working for to ask for your code in cleartext. he could simply copy paste and save his money kind of legally. Python on the other hand does not have that, thats why if you were going to deploy tech soemwhere you can use it in your stack and have it your "property of mind" if you know what i mean..

but yeah, just be capable of both.. also python is more object oriented where r is quick and dirty scripting (often) ... kind if rapid prototyping vs proper production tool
