Wow, tell us how you really feel. How much have you used R and Python? Maybe those data scientists would prefer if you didn't viscerally hate the main data/statistics language and didn't call it useless for things beyond a narrow use-case. It may lead to better outcomes if people hated things less and tried to understand the valid use-cases, for instance the reams and reams of statistics that can be done on R where Python may lag behind, since R is the lingua franca of statistics and research.
