Would you say that Rust is an appropriate language for learning Machine Learning and Data Science? Does it make the learning of it simple, difficult, other?
I'm new to the three, and Rust is a language that I'm working on now as it (to me) seems that it will be around for a long time, like Perl.
- DataCrayon 6y agoHi! I don't recommend using Rust to learn data science. Unless you're an exceptional Rust programmer, you may end up spending most of your time negotiating with Rust instead of putting data science concepts to practice. The difficulty of the language aside, the ecosystem isn't ready yet... I've been keeping an eye on https://www.arewelearningyet.com/ https://www.arewelearningyet.com/, I hope it's still up-to-date. For this reason, I would recommend Python for data science/ML. I try to cover both Rust and data science in my book (https://datacrayon.com/shop/product/data-analysis-with-rust-notebooks/ https://datacrayon.com/shop/product/data-analysis-with-rust-...), but it can be tricky!
