Everyone in fintech talks about Python.
We use Python too. But let’s speak the truth:
The throne belongs to R. Always has. Always will.
At Finorys, every critical decision, every Growth Score that powers the 11-digit Algorithmic Key, every predictive model that sees your financial future before you do, is born in R.
Python is our flawless execution engine.
R is the sovereign who gives the orders.
A short history of the quiet conqueror:
*1993 → University of Auckland: Ross Ihaka & Robert Gentleman create R as an open-source successor to S
*2000 → CRAN launches → today >20,000 packages, the richest statistical ecosystem on earth
*2004 → R becomes the gold standard in biostatistics → the same math now decodes Financial DNA
*2009 → Hadley Wickham revolution → ggplot2, dplyr, tidyr rewrite data science
*2015 → RStudio turns R into an enterprise war-room tool
*2020s → R + Arrow + DuckDB + tidymodels trains terabyte-scale models in seconds
*2025 → Finorys embeds R at the deepest layer of the Money Passport infrastructure
R was never the “cool” language.
R was always the most accurate.
Banks spent billions on SAS licenses.
R arrived for free and silently buried them.
Python rose in the 2010s because it was easy to learn.
R was mastered only by the best, and quietly took over the mission-critical cores of finance, insurance, pharma, and central banking.
Today:
*Federal Reserve stress tests run on R
*The world’s largest reinsurers price catastrophe risk with R
*The most advanced fraud engines breathe through R’s outlier packages
*And now, every 8 seconds, when a new 11-digit Algorithmic Key is generated, the mathematics that decides your future worth is computed, first and foremost, in R.
R has been king for 32 years.
Python is the loyal vizier that delivers the king’s verdict at the speed of light.
In 2030, when someone enters their 11-digit Algorithmic Key and the system instantly unlocks life-changing capital because it saw their destiny first,
that decision will be made by code rooted in a lab in Auckland, 1993.
R was king.
R is king.
R will remain king.
And Finorys is proud to be the official carrier of this king into the new financial empire
