R has so many problems itself! Attempting to run it at any sort of scale is basically impossible. Its dependency management is atrocious. You can't thread or multi-process effectively. The amount of overhead to even install R on a system is incredible, and amazingly its documentation is even worse than Python. We use R as our foundational Data science language and it has caused nothing but immense pain for everyone attempting to wrap the packages in scalable software.
