Ask HN: What programming language to learn for a statistician?
My SO, is currently a statistician/data research, she primarily that works in excel/vba/sql.
As she works in the public sector, we would like to broaden her employment prospects and looking at most J/Ds for Data Scientists or similar stats based roles programming is a must.
So which is the most suitable language to learn? Python? R?
TLDR; Data Scientists, what did you start out learning? What worked? What would you do differently?
