R is an older programming language that has mathematics, and in particular Statistics as a first class feature (no need to import a ton of libraries like in Python).

R Studio is a free IDE for R.

Is it easy to learn? Not really, but anything worthwhile has a learning curve.

My class in Data Mining and Machine Learning is done in R.

If you are curious about statistics, I highly recommend this free tool. It even reads the same csv files that Python does!

More to come on this...
