I’m in graduate school right now, and we use R for my statistics course. The lack of a universal syntax is something I detest. It seems disorganized. When I realize I need to use R, I roll my eyes and then run it through chatgpt before debugging; occasionally, I’ll just do it by hand in Python. Any advice?

The main reason I enjoy R is Tidyverse’s consistent syntax and abundance of amazing packages.

In addition, there are parallels between SQL and Dplyr verbs. In contrast to pandas syntax

Especially with the snytax inconsistencies of Pandas in comparison.

I was about to mention that although I dislike R, I enjoy Tidyverse enough to be a content user of the language.

This is how I feel about Python Polars! I used to believe that I detested Python, but it turns out that my soul was shattered by pandas instead.

Maybe I should switch to Polars…
I fucking hate Pandas
