During my masters in Data Analytics, I learnt both Python and R for data analysis and statistics purposes. I have known python programming from my undergrad days but R was totally new for me.

Coming to my experience, I feel that new libraries or tools are added continuously to their respective catalog for both languages. R is mainly used for statistical analysis while Python provides a more general approach to data science.
