- yeukhon 10y agoI was guessing C++, definitely not JS (very wild guess) There is a strong ecosystem for ML in Python (scikit-learn for example).
- danpalmer 10y agoI'm not particularly surprised that it's written in Python. - Lua/Torch appears to not be designed for distributed systems as much, and looks less mature in terms of the scientific computing side. - PHP is clearly the wrong tool for this job - it's only really the right tool for websites (debatable). - Could do Node.js, but has little/no data-science/scientific computing side. C++ would be the only reasonable competitor to Python here I think. Python is a pretty good combination of great for science, good for servers and easy to pick up and use for all the engineers who will need to interact with it.
