Isn’t Python even more of a “do everything” language than R?

I very much think R is more of a “do everything language” because put simply, R lets developers do a lot more than Python in the language itself. It’s how the implementation of “polars” in R basically looks the exact same as in Python. R is like English in its ability to bring in other languages. Take a look at how many OOP systems there are.
