- WilliamEdward 7y agoI noticed this trend too. Python has immortalised itself in ML because it's extremely important to be easy and clear if you want to write already complicated data science, and it has the data structures that other languages just can't compete with. Plus it's very close to pseudocode, and a lot of ML is spoken in algorithms.
- nikofeyn 7y ago> it has the data structures that other languages just can't compete with mind elaborating?
- WilliamEdward 7y agoList comprehensions, dictionaries, as well as libraries such as pandas and numpy with their linear algebra data structures are some of python's strong points, i think.
- harry8 7y agoThat has as much to do with SO style and nature. Raw python questions already have answers so if you ask one you're downvoted to oblivion. Pytorch, tensorflow et al are new-ish enough there are novel questions to ask and answer. If there's a new hotness in python web frameworks (or whatever) that suddenly everyone wants to use, questions about that will top the list of new questions.
