Surprised to see it still uses R rather than Python

I'd like it to use Julia much more than either R or Python, tbh.

I'm not. If anything, these days R is evolving much faster than Python in this field.

Any particular reason why you think so? Any particular field where you think R is going ahead of Python?

For Statistical methods, R was always ahead.

I use Python daily, but I still find the way R / Tidyverse handles df manipulations much more user-friendly and efficient. My understanding is that R has a health ecosystem of packages for dealing with spectrometry data. It is not field so I am not speaking from experience.
