I don’t think people who work in infrastructure currently will be surprised that Go is a better choice than Python for infra, but for those who are newer to the field of ML or only work on model development (vs deployment), it is likely surprising that a major part of production ML is best done in a language other than Python.
- threeseed 7y agoI don't buy this comment at all. I've worked with hundreds of Data Scientists, many new to the industry and they all know that R and Scala are important and popular languages for ML. Majority of Data Engineering today is using Spark, which is written in Scala and even when you write Python code using it you can't escape Java/Scala internals being exposed.
