Is learning R important for DataScience?
Hey guys, is learning R important for a Data Scientist or Learning Python and SQL is enough, Actually I was seeing some of sites yesterday of interviews - I saw that one question was what are the pros and cons of Python and R? So is R compulsory or Python and SQL is enough?

It depends where you want to work. In academic institutions and research I think R is more common. In business Python is more common.
And you can also do data science without ever using R or Python. The language Julia is also specialized on data science and machine learning.

Less trivial but valid choices are C++, Java, Kotlin, Scala, even JavaScript, the only real challenge is finding the right libraries that help. They do exist, but most of the articles and courses online focus only on R or Python, so it will be more difficult to get started in other languages.

R is an important tool for Data Science. It is highly popular and is the first choice of many statisticians and data scientists alike.
