Ask HN: R or Python for Data Science?
2 points by owens99 on April 12, 2016 | hide | past | favorite | 1 comment
Hey all, I'm a ruby/js convert from PHP/C/Java world. I'm really interested in Data Science now and am learning D3.js for data visualization. I'm wondering which open source community is better right now for Data Science: R or Python?

I'm looking for a large number of interesting projects to learn from but also a welcoming and happy community where I could make new friends.




Both.

I use R for plotting/processing, Python for scripting and getting external data.
