I will start:

a) as.Date(“2022-Jul-01”, format =“%Y-%b-%d”) will or will not work depending on os language

b) how R handles diacritics and encoding differently on Linux and on windows

c) Rstudio :D

    utf Support under windows (which is not r’s fault) which might/will be (is already?) fixed

    the rate at which packages change, sometimes breaking stuff (renv to the rescue)

    how my place does not invest in proper integration but uses various scripts stored on a network drive with absolutely no documentation

    That no one knows it. For many ML algorithms they rather get published first in R than in Python still, although I believe this is not true for deep learning, but rather stuff like tree based models.

    Sometimes I can’t implement what I want to because I don’t have time, let alone skill to port a library from R into Python and make it sklearn compatible. But I also don’t want to be the only person in my team who understands the code. So Python it is.

    Edit: just realized this is 7 months old, but I guess maybe we can boost activity by also answering to old posts?
