   One very important factor with a downside for python compared to R: it doesn't allow autocomplete using tab for files and path.

   Python will autocomplete only for local variables and functions, while R autocompletes for filenames too.

   #rstats
   #python

     @numeredevs @flaviaerius which betrays the fact that R is really more a statistical computing system with preferred interfaces (e.g. rstudio) whereas Python is a general purpose language with no such link (ide's ranging from vi to pycharm though i imagine some may be using more exotic setups :-)

     @flaviaerius Not sure, but it seems that you're mixing up the features of a language with those of the IDE used writing it. A language typically never autocompletes something if you're pressing TAB. That's always an application. 😉

     @flaviaerius @numeredevs both pycharm and visual studio code have it (the latter via a plugin)

     @phiofx @numeredevs If you know of any IDE that allows autocomplete for path and filenames using tab for python, please let me know!

     @phiofx @numeredevs Thanks! Could you tell me which plugin is this for VSCode?
