> If anything, this is reason that people should stop using python. It's also the reason I never started in the first place. It wasn't in any way clear which the right option was during the period of schism, and it went on for an awfully long time. With that being said I'm starting to tinker with Python now simply because it has a great ecosystem for NLP and ML. I certainly need the former, although how much of the latter I'll need (possibly none) is unclear. Regardless, it seems to be the de facto standard language for anything that falls under the broad category of data science to the point where for me to pick up a different language would feel very much like swimming upstream.
