          Except every scientist and analyst. Stats, data sci and ML is done in R and Python, be it astro, health data or genomics.

          If someone has been taught stats in spreadsheet software, they have have been taught wrong, period.

          Also, programming is a very strong term. we’re talking about stats in a scripting language, not software development in CPP.
