It is interesting that Wes McKinney said that he had started Pandas so that R wouldn't dominate data science. (I am paraphrasing, but I think it was at the beginning of his pandas book).

Now I happen to be a pandas person myself, and I am glad he did it. If someone had advised Wes not to spend his time on python and just focused on making R better, I would hope he would not have listened to that person.
