Comment on Ask HN: What tools do you use for data munging and merging?

Comments

data.table has both an R and Python version. The python is version getting pretty mature now.

Munging and Merging pretty large datasets using data.table is very efficient and intuitive after a bit of practice.

The vignette in R is very good. Datacamp has a course (I think little dated). Also a search for videos by Matt Dowle and Arun Srinivasan can give a very good quick idea of data.table's capabilities. I think both are involved in some capacity with h2o.ai which seems to be pretty good and on my to-do list.

Desktop coding using Rstudio is a wonderful experience with the R version.
