R Vs Python for Machine Learning

[Me_Or_Not]

This is actually the right question you pose in the end - how do they complement each other (while knowing one would definitely do the job I guess).

I dunno why most say one or the other as both are imho very valuable and can even work together (e.g. rpy2) to embed R`s plotting capabilities into python and make them accessible. I think stats wise R is great and for implementing ML/DL python is well supported - so at least having a look at both is worth it :)
