This. Python is a genuine great choice for so many disciplines as well. If I have a ML project, then need to make a web app around it, and want to manage my environment, Python is a genuinely great language for _all_ of those needs all at the same time.
Great as they may be in their own domains, you can’t say that about Julia, Nim, Matlab etc.
Just JavaScript transpiring seem A bit lacking atm, then it is complete...
- ChrisRackauckas 6y agoWhat's wrong with Julia here? Its webservers and web app packages are pretty amazing. I just moved everything from a mixture of Ruby and Python over to various forms of it and have had far less issues. I think the testing and the "one language stack" culture of Julia leads to more robust software and you can fairly clearly see it in the general-purpose areas.
- rich_sasha 6y agoNothing _wrong_ with Julia, and likely my knowledge of it is outdated. But my point is, Python ranks, in popularity, quality and appropriateness, as a top choice for so many categories of SE. It’s not like a, say, good scientific programming language with an also surprisingly good web front end. Not sure you would say that about Julia, for lack of popularity if nothing else.
