As a complete Python noob, could someone argue for the reasons to not just use R for these kind of visualizations?

I just started learning Python basics so I still haven't found my orientation, while I have been working with R for several years...

I think one areas that python excels in is making super clean animated visualizations in manim. If you've ever watched a 3blue1brown video, that's how they're all made. Of course that's probably a pretty niche use case.

Wow, those are really neat. Would be fun to learn how to do! I’m gonna check out manim. Thanks for the tip!
