I have found Python to be highly versatile, but the R community is composed of brilliant individuals. Python is also pretty well native to linux servers and use for Raspberry Pi edge devices. But R is a very well developed language, and the RStudio interface is considered among the finest. Finally, the R data visualizations produced with ggplot are considered the industry benchmark. I chose R and am sticking to it, because I care deeply about the impact that visualization quality has on people.
