R resides in an interestingly large gap between the other domain-specific languages, SAS and SPSS. R has not only caught up with SPSS, but surpassed it with around 50% more job postings. MATLAB has many similarities to R so it’s interesting to see that it has only around half the job postings. Note that these are specific to analtyics and MATLAB has many engineering jobs that are not counted in this total.

SAS is still far ahead of R in analytics job postings

Figure 2a shows the number of articles found for each software package for all the years that Google Scholar can search. SPSS is by far the most dominant package, likely due to its balance between power and ease-of-use. SAS has around half as many, followed by MATLAB and R.

Azure Machine Learning is a public cloud-based service that lets developers embed predictive analytics into their applications

Machine learning software has been around for years but isn't easy to use or deploy, and it's also expensive, Sirosh said. Packaging up machine-learning-as-a-cloud service solves these problems, and by being first to bring it to market, Microsoft has a head start on the likes of Google, Amazon and IBM, he said. "I think, on this particular front, that we are the leaders," Sirosh told CRN.   

Hiring Sirosh was something of a coup for Microsoft. He joined last July from Amazon, where he spent close to nine years as a vice president in various machine-learning-related roles.
