This is fair. For what it's worth, Python is tending toward this and I think is introducing newer syntax at a faster rate with things such as structural pattern matching and typing, which I have had difficulty explaining to people who don't keep up with each new release.

Switching from R to Python, this resonates. I write base (non-tidy) R, and it's definitely another language from tidy. That said, having written a fair amount of base Python, jumping into torch/tensor flow feels like an even further separation than base R/tidy.
