I don't understand why someone would use Python instead of say using Ruby. I think right now it is a matter of "synergy" given that Pandas, Torch and all those libraries are more tailored for Python, but as a scripting language Ruby is just so much easier, elegant and intuitive [ len(something) vs something.length ]
- jkubicek 6y agoFWIW, I found Python far more intuitive than Ruby. For the most part, Python works like I expect it to, meaning I can write large swaths of functional code without having to look at documentation, something I was never able to do in Ruby.
