This is so wrong and all FUD. At my company R users write modular packages and deploy them to internal CRANs while python users write scripts and email them because it is way easier to write modular code in R because R favors easy on ramps for new users while embracing good ideas like immutable semantics and functional programming. Further, R has targets which is way more general than snakemake. Even from a reproducibility perspective, R wins hands down. Getting an R package into Guix is trivial compared to a python package. This means that in 10 years, more R code will still run than python. It really saddens me to see the level of dishonest crap which goes unchallenged to make an inferior prototyping language kill the only lispy language with good numerical libraries.

To be fair, I was sharing my perspective, thanks for sharing yours. I guess we both offered some anecdata here.
