R vs python

Question

Which one is better for data science?
How? (support your answer)

Answer 1

R is used by statisticians and economists so when they moved to data science they brought this language with them.
Python is more of a general purpose programming language that you can also use for data science. It is now widely used thanks to the scikitlearn and panda modules. This would be my choice if I had to start learning a language.
