Character Sketches
R
Built by statisticians, for statisticians. The pipe operator, vectorized operations, and ggplot2's grammar of graphics are genuinely beautiful within R's domain. Step outside statistics and the quirks multiply.
Python
Everyone's first love and nobody's last. Python's beauty is the beauty of clarity, indentation is structure, the most readable way is the correct way, and a newcomer can read someone else's code without a tutorial.
