I just finished a 1-year Data Science master's program where we were taught R. I found that Python is more popular and has a larger community in AI.

Is it worth for someoneWhat are the advantages that Python may have over R in my position to switchterms of features applicable to Pythonthe field of Data Science and if yes, whyAI (other than popularity and larger community)? Does python have any game-changing features not availableWhat positions in Data Science and AI would be more Python-heavy than R or-heavy (especially comparing industry, academic, and government job positions)? In short, is it just a matter of communityPython worthwhile in all job situations or can I get by with only R in some positions?

Is a switch from R to Python worth it?
