- leibnitz27 8y ago^^ THIS. And yet certain organisations I know have upwards of 40M lines of it. Run. Run. Run FASTER.
- terragon 8y agoCould you please elaborate on that? My company has tons of python code producing reports with reportlab, making UIs with PyQt5, as well as a multitude of small scripts to interact with MySQL. We’ve been nothing but happy with Python in the years of using it.
- YeGoblynQueenne 8y ago"I 've done it so it's not so bad" is not a very good argument. I've done a significant data science project in Prolog (with R for the plotting btw) but that doesn't mean Prolog is the go-to language for data science :)
- shakna 8y agoBut it is a datapoint against the hypothesis "Prolog is inappropriate for data science".
- YeGoblynQueenne 8y agoOh, true that :) Sorry, I might have misread your comment!
- itronitron 8y agoMainly because production pipelines care a great deal about performance (speed) and Python is generally considered to have worse performance in comparison to compiled languages (Java or C++.) Depending on your pipeline that may not be a big deal.
