- Using Python directly is a better experience than calling Python from Julia
- I've never run into unsolveable performance issues with Python
So I guess I'm not in the target audience unless I just happen to be curious about a new language? That's kind of my overall point - even if Julia is a good language on its own and I work in data science, I don't have reasons to pick it over Python.
- pjmlp 6y agoExcept when Python fails, the option is to write C, in Julia I can carry on writing Julia.
- galangalalgol 6y agoIf you haven't hit a brick wall with python, it is just because you haven't run into the right problem. I was doing something that required lots of conditional operations on small matrices. The FFI into numpy's native library really bogged it down. I didn't have permission to install a compiler on that machine so I wrote it in vba in excel. It was 11x faster.
