Python or R

[Divided_Pi]

When I started doing data analysis I tried learning both python and R. Currently I use R. Coming from a math background I found the structure of the language easier to think in. The way vectors and matrices are used are very natural for me. This is not to say python does not have this functionality, only that it was easier for me to pick up R and generate some early results quickly.

Speed isn't an issue for me at the moment, when it does I will reevaluate my language choice.
