New Poll: Primary Programming Language for Analytics, Data Mining, Data Science?
The Data Science Championship fight - R vs Python: What was your Primary Programming Language for Analytics, Data Mining, Data Science tasks?

While Data Science platforms are getting easier to use, data scientists frequently need to go beyond them and actually code in a lower-level language for their tasks.
Recent KDnuggets Analytics, Data Mining Software Poll showed that R and Python are the top 2 such analytics languages, and while R is more popular, Python grows faster.
R and Python are also very popular topics among KDnuggets readers.
Our previous poll examined Switch between R and Python in 2013, and we also found that R and Python are the most popular among 4 main languages for Analytics, Data Mining, and Data Science.
New KDnuggets Poll looks the current state of R vs Python fight.
I apologize in advance to users of many other languages, but R and Python are the most popular two, and the flow diagram becomes too complicated if another language is added.
This poll is now closed - results will be published soon.
