This is pretty cool. I'm not a huge Python fan, but I wind up using it quite a bit for ML tasks. Functional programming in Python is essentially impossible, between nearly everything being mutable and the terrible one-line lambdas. I know Python is all about "there should be only one way to do it," but that typically doesn't map (ahaha) at all to how I think.
- enedil 8y agoYou say "ML" tasks. Do you mean StandardML or Ocaml?
- alangpierce 8y agoMy reading was "machine learning".
- mark_l_watson 8y agoI totally agree. I also have to use Python for machine learning, which has been my primary work activity for years, but Python does not click with me. I have started using MyPy at home but we don’t use it at work. I am so much happier writing code in Common Lisp, Scheme, Haskell, and Ruby.
