I use R for all sorts of bioinformatics shenanigens, and I remind myself daily I am not a nerd. Even my rows of warhammer books, minis and Corvus Corax poster confirm to me I am not a nerd..... The Emperor Protects....my code

R still gives me chills, never hated a language until I had to use R in my PhD.

Still furious when half packages need different versions of the same thing making them incompatible.

I am a scientist and I used to use SAS for stats, and then started doing loads of bioinformatics in R. Institute decided they werent going to license SAS anymore, and didnt tell us. We get an email the day of, to say no more SAS. Then we have to drop evrything and concert all our SAS models into R.... Cue bitching from instiute leaders as to why we had to halt all publications. Idiots.

This is how I feel about python. At least you can do C adjacent things in R.
