It might be a contrarian view, but holy crap, R and Shiny might be the most underrated tool anything data related

Our company had to analyze very large datasets for a client — over a 10 million rows and more than 100 variables. A key part of the task was identifying the events and timeframes that caused changes in the target variable relative to others. A lot of exploratory analysis had to done in the beginning, where the data had to be zoomed in very close.

Using Plotly + Shiny +R , Was able to create a very sophisticated interactive dashboard to visualize variable correlations. I was also able to use Plotly’s event triggers to interactively subset the data and perform targeted analysis within the app

Was able to solve the problem within a couple of days and saved the client a lot of money. Gave the presentation to the client and they were blown away.

Python is extremely overrated and a herd of ppl just use it because everyone else uses it

Plotly is available under python too you know

I’ve never really used R, but I thought most of the value in a language was its adoption so people create libraries for it.

It’s good for one-off plots and analysis, but it’s not a serious programming language and shouldn’t be used in production

All modern languages are the same. You can litterally build what you said in any of the popular languages. It just depends what the developer is most proficient at:
