Why I like using Python more than I like using R

This morning I spent a lot of time trying to find an online R interpreter that would do the things that I wanted it to do, to no avail.

I had been previously been using Replit, but wanted to see if I could find an online interpreter that would work better than Replit. I found an online interpreter, JDoodle, and decided to give it a try. The first stumbling block that I came across was the fact that JDoodle does not provide graphics that I could see. I also tried to import the library, tidyverse, and JDoodle would not import any libraries either.

I really only want to use online tools because I am afforded virus protection to the sites I visit in my mobile phone service provider, Vodafone. I pay a monthly fee for the virus protection, and since I tether my internet connection to my laptop, I am notified of any suspicious sites I visit.

I also use the AVG secure browser to browse the internet. This platform has a builtin adblock, anti-phishing, safer online banking, a password manager, and many other features.

In addition to receiving virus protection from vodafone, I also receive virus and malware protection on my Windows 11 operating system. As long as I don’t install any Microsoft non-approved software, my protection should stay intact.
