[R] R vs Numpy

[Sorkin, John]

Catherine,

R is a program that is designed for the statistical analysis and visual display of data. Advantages and disadvantages depend on what you want to do with the language.

Hello members,

I am familiar with python's Numpy.
Now I am looking into R language.
What is the main difference between these two languages? including advantages or disadvantages.

Thanks.
