I must be missing something...I see the Python options having a lot more volume than R. What am I supposed to be seeing in this graph that means Python isn't a (if not the) leading language in this space?

I guess there are better ways of comparing. I like the survey data and kaggle.com data from my other link.

Comparing statistical packages by: Kaggle.com usage, Job posts, Activity on blogs, mailing lists, Stack overflow, Google Scholar and a few more..

We have a winner?

2011 was ages ago

The article actually admits in the first sentence that the title is false: "... Python is probably the programming language of choice (besides R) ..."

I updated with a link to a post comparing statistical packages in a much better way.

Would be interesting with more recent data on Kaggle.com usage. Anyone?
