They Don’t Teach You This About R: Shocking Truths That Will Shock You Learning R programming often feels like unlocking a powerful tool for data science, statistics, and visualization — but here’s the blind spot most learners never hear: the shocking realities behind using R that can completely change how you approach coding, collaboration, and productivity. In this eye-opening article, we reveal the hidden truths about R that every beginner should know — truths that promise to shock and reshape your journey. ### Why R Seems Harder Than It Appears At first glance, R’s syntax feels intuitive, especially for statisticians and data analysts.
