GregP Jan 2019 11:13am, 15 Jan 2019 110,209 posts	0 GregP I have one of those coming up. Why we’re going down the R rather than Python route is unclear. As is the reason why I’m on the course in the first place

GlennR Jan 2019 5:50pm, 15 Jan 2019 40,207 posts	0 GlennR R, good for stats and producing graphs. No worse than any other language, they’re all the same in essence.

Badger Jan 2019 6:45pm, 15 Jan 2019 10,285 posts	0 Badger I don't think APL and Prolog are either. Lisp is a bit out there, too.
GlennR Jan 2019 6:52pm, 15 Jan 2019 40,210 posts	0 GlennR Sorry: all languages written in the last fifty years and used predominantly by the sane are essentially the same.
