Why Is Python Better Than R

Python is widely used for integrating data analysis tasks into web apps and production databases because it is a full-fledged programming language. It has extensive libraries for machine learning and artificial intelligence like TensorFlow and Scikit-learn. Python has a larger community of developers creating and supporting packages compared to R, and it is easier to deploy Python algorithms into production due to libraries like Pandas, NumPy, and Scikit-learn.

Python – Ease of Integrating your code into Production

R is primarily a statistician’s language used for data science.

As a general purpose language, Python is widely used in many fields, such as web development. Python
is the go to language when your Data Analysis tasks need to be integrated with web apps or if statistics
code needs to be incorporated into a production database. Being a full-fledged programming language,
it’s a great tool to implement algorithms for production use.

Extensive number of libraries & support

Python has huge collection of cutting-edge libraries craft made for implementing Machine Learning &
Artificial Intelligence algorithms. The support for Deep Learning and Artificial Intelligence is far better in
Python compared to R thanks to libraries available like Keras, Tensorflow & Scikit-learn.

In fact, the number of developers who are creating & supporting such packages/libraries for Python is
significantly high compared to R and this number keeps on increasing day by day.
