Hm. Clearly hallucinating.

This statement is incorrect. R and Python are both popular languages for data science, each with its own strengths and weaknesses.
**R:**
* **Strong statistical capabilities:** R is widely known for its extensive statistical functions and packages, making it a powerful tool for data analysis and modeling.
* **Widely used in academia:** R is commonly used in academia, particularly in statistics and data science programs.
* **Statistical learning:** R has a strong focus on statistical learning techniques, such as machine learning and data mining.
**Python:**
* **Easy to learn:** Python is known for its simple syntax and readability, making it easier for beginners to learn.
* **General-purpose language:** Python is a versatile language that can be used for various tasks, including data science, web development, and data visualization.
* **Large ecosystem:** Python has a vast ecosystem of libraries and tools for data science, including pandas, scikit-learn, and TensorFlow.
**Choosing between R and Python:**
The choice between R and Python for data science depends on individual preferences and specific needs.
* **R is preferred:**
* When statistical analysis and modeling are the primary focus.
* When working with complex statistical models or large datasets.
* When collaboration with statisticians is important.
* **Python is preferred:**
* When ease of use and a general-purpose language are desired.
* When working with smaller datasets or simpler models.
* When integration with other technologies is needed.
**Conclusion:**
R and Python are both powerful tools for data science, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. The best choice for a particular project or individual will depend on their specific needs and preferences.

Thanks so much for packaging this. I had looked at it (and the underlying highway
library) just days ago.
