The R programmer looks at the Python user and says: "Your object-oriented programming is a scandal. Your white space delimiters are a heresy. Return to the curly braces, my son." Why call RStudio "the Catholic Minecraft"?
It is the "priesthood of all believers." Anyone can spawn a block of diamond. There is no hierarchy; there is no sacred text beyond the Wiki. You build, you break, you fly. It is fast, chaotic, and radically individualistic.
Welcome to the intersection of high liturgy and high logic. To understand why RStudio is to data science what Catholicism is to Minecraft, we must first strip away the absurdist veneer.
If you typed “RStudio the Catholic Minecraft” into a search engine hoping for a mod, a texture pack, or a bizarre Papal blessing for the Tidyverse, you are likely either very lost or very ahead of the curve. But for the uninitiated, this is not a bug in the algorithm. It is a burgeoning metaphor for a specific kind of digital asceticism.
