Python is just such a good Swiss army knife and it's never a waste to learn: you can do data science and you can do almost anything else. It's the BASIC of the 21st century.

Swiss army knife with nothing actually attached to it, just the empty frame of the knife. You need to import so many aspects.

I mean one example is people routinely reaching for pandas. Pandas is basically just replicating base R data wrangling syntax.
