    What is R (programming language)?

    R is a free software environment for statistical computing and graphics.
    It is a GNU project which is similar to the S language and environment which was developed at Bell Laboratories (formerly AT&T, now Lucent Technologies) by John Chambers and colleagues. R can be considered as a different implementation of S. There are some important differences, but much code written for S runs unaltered under R.

    R is a whole language with its working bundled application as specially the "de facto" standard for data analysis and data mining. Better suited for advanced users who want all the power in their hands.

    Try one of the 8 GUI, dialogue instead of typing code, software before using a real IDE like R studio. Or rather run R studio then run the GUIs on top of it. They are far easier to use and guide beginners.

    Said about R (programming language) as an alternative

    Alteryx is built on R, so anything it can do can be done in R. However, there is no GUI for programming with R without Alteryx and therefore one must learn to program with R to use it.

    When it comes to data science, R is on par with or probably even better than Python
    Positive comment • about 4 years ago • as an alternative to   Python

    Cost, functionality. There are an amazing amount of packages available to implement different analyses, the amount of support and documentation is incredible. Then the ability to create GUIs using Shiny is great for distribution of your work to colleagues and associates to use.
