Given your perspective, a more important question might be what underlying algorithms are being used? I’m only a rookie data scientist but knowing that (for example) a random forest outperformed a neural net in this case, or even just a set of heuristics, is solid information. These can be built in Python, R, even C depending on the application, developer experience and a bunch of other stuff.

I'm looking at it from a couple of levels to support my data scientists. They're primarily python-based but we are adding newer data scientists who have experience with R. Algorithmically, we built a neural network for phenotyping.
