Thanks for sharing. Seems your issues are more with databricks than R, but certainly R is more obscure.

At least in my experience we’ve never had issues with people learning it on the job and far fewer software issues from eg versioning, dependencies, regression bugs. It just works, there’s rarely even a need for a venv.

I’d never expect it applied as a general purpose language like python though, typical projects are <1k lines of some specific data task, perhaps our use cases are just different
