Is this good for compsci major?

No. Literally any other possible language is more useful for compsci than R, unless you're explicitly planning on going into meme data sci, in which case I recommend studying something else.

God no. It's about as useful for CS as MATLAB, as in not at all. You'd be far better off using Julia for the same purposes.

R does not fall under that category for compsci

If you want to learn a programming language for scientific computation/machine learning do Python or Julia or something, unless you actually want to know the math behind it, then you can use R because it's better for model building if you actually know what you're doing.

If you even care about the language then you aren't understanding the concepts.

You don't understand what a compsci degree is for do you? Usually, if you want to go into data science, I would recommend something else.

R is great for plotting and is more intuitive than python for manipulating databases. But unless you are planning to go into stats R shouldn't be your language of choice

I tell you what, sometimes I try to reproduce machine learning articles in python and fail. I do that in R and it works.
What kind of magic is this
