Finally, Microsoft! I have always felt weird about Microsoft prioritizing Python before their own language. Not that I do a lot of ML, but I plan to maybe use it for some projects in the future and then it would feel nice to have an official .NET package for it.

Would be nice if they provided performant .Net wrappers around some of the more popular open source ML libraries (pandas for example), assuming that is technically possible.

  What can pandas do that SQL can't?
  - mistermann 8y ago
    Pandas and SQL are cousins, at best. Here's the 2,215 page user manual, to give you some idea of the power contained within: https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/pandas.pdf https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/pandas.pdf They really serve two related but different purposes, I'm sure if you check it out you will be impressed.

    pandas is higher-level; it's more similar to R. It does a bunch of modeling, statistics, and time series stuff.
