I've been slowly, sloooowly teaching myself Python for a while. Not even for a particular reason, I just like programming, but I'm not very good and I don't have any projects in mind. Python just clicked with me, so I learn where I can :)
Nice! Yeah, Python can be super helpful. I haven't tried to learn anything else except R, but it also seems like a great first language to learn, too. I know with R, there seemed to be a little be more of a learning curve at the beginning.
R's not to bad, especially if you move to something a little easier to work with, like R Studio. It's easier than working in SAS at least, and it's not expensive to use. Glad freeware research tools are being more widely accepted.
That's actually a pretty cool origins story!
