This was very fun and I hope it's useful for our community. Share your thoughts on other languages, frameworks, or proprietary solutions that you think could make soccer analytics work easier and better.

There are some fantastic public packages in both Python and R that can take you a long way pretty quickly. This makes a case for adopting a hybrid stack. Typically, available packages excel in: Py ➡️ engineering + modeling R ➡️ visualization + scraping

Intriguing suggestions: Julia, Rust & other robust frameworks! (h/t @mr_le_fox) Clubs aren't tech companies, sparking a debate on choosing the best tools for the job vs. tools that integrate smoothly into the organization 💼🔧.

4) R (eng.)/Py (modeling) got 6.1% -> 52 voters. A notable group of analysts prefers a non-standard & kinda surprising "inverse" stack 💡 I suspect that if we concentrate engineering tasks on data wrangling this would make good sense.

3) Programming Stack: Same language (79.1%) triumphs over hybrid (20.9%)! ⚽️ analysts love language consistency👩💻👨💻 This keeps things simpler, but I wonder how much of this choice is influenced by analysts' backgrounds (Eng + Comp Sci vs. Stats + Math + Physics) 🤔

2) Engineering & Wrangling Showdown: Python (65.9%) vs. R (34.1%)! Python rules data engineering tasks, while R's commendable performance is likely driven by its powerful data-wrangling libraries 📚. For pure backend tasks, Python's preference could be even higher!

1) Modeling: Python (57.2%) vs. R (42.8%) Soccer analysts show a strong affinity for R, well beyond its 15% adoption in Data Science (as per ChatGPT-4 😅) Yet, Python is still king 🐍👑
