I find Rust really difficult to get into :( Python, you're right has a bunch of problems with datetime and packages, etc. but when it comes to productivity, it is insane how amazing Python is. Also being able to hack internals of python library and "batteries included" philosophy is why it is the most popular language in the world now overtaking Java.
- throwaway894345 6y agoRust does have a steep learning curve and Python is a very productive language... until you are the one responsible for builds and deploys, or performance, or concurrency, or quality, or etc. I think you’ll find that Go hits a nice sweet spit between all of those competing concerns even if it isn’t the best at any of them (in general; however, probably not for data science in particular).
- fermienrico 6y agoThanks, I am willing to try both Rust and Go.
