Choice of analytical language
I have used mainly three statistical languages, Stata, R, and SAS, for many years for different purposes. The weights of usage of those three languages are shift from SAS-Stata-R to SAS-R-Stata, then, to Stata-R-SAS. Sometimes I am asked to recommend a better analytic language, which is always a hard and complicated question to me. I came across an blog written by Curtis Miller, which is very thoughtful and helpful to make this kind of choice. Here is his blog: "On Programming Languages; Why My Dad Went From Programming to Driving a Bus". Hopefully his story can help you to make your own decision.
