RE: R Language - How to Create Diverging Bar Plot in R

Glad to see data oriented posts here !
I would be very glad to see more interesting post about data engineering, science, viz and all.
I just started to post on LinkedIn hoping to attract some professionals here!
By the way, what would be, in your opinion, the advantage of using R over Python for data science projects?

Sort:  

Simplicity. Especially in context of exploring, cleaning and using the data. However Python is the real thing and should be used for data science in my opinion for job and serious work. R seems to lack on the server side if you are playing with big data, analytics and data streams. For small visualization and to do simple dataset work I prefer R but that's just personal choice.

Ok, thanks. As I don't do Data Science for a living I just followed a small introduction course on R and never used it again after. And I don't see my Datascientist colleagues using it, hence the question.
