I considered looking at R once. As a data scientist and an experienced Python user, maybe I'll see something useful. Then I learned that R uses <- for variable assignment and = for equality evaluation, and I stopped learning because I would make that mistake if I learned to switch back and forth for the rest of my life.

You can also use = to assign variables in R it’s just not good practice
