I only use Python when it’s something quick and dirty. It’s very rare that I use Python for anything production. I think it’s a neat language overall. All the work I did to learn ML was in Python, and so it’s been immensely valuable to me. But yeah — I don’t use it in production (and I haven’t done any ML in production). I think maybe a couple years ago I had to ship some Python code because I needed to connect together some tasks into a workflow and Airflow seemed to let me get everything up, write tests, and instrument metrics to a monitoring solution I was using. Last year I ended up doing a bunch of stuff with Spark. I hated dynamic typing in Python and my team agreed to go with Scala. Couldn’t be happier. For example, Python was helpful for a script I wrote and left running on my MacBook to tell me when the PS5 dropped on Target. Ended up waking at 1AM PST to my phone ringing, opening up the Target app, and ordering the PS5. Picked it up the next morning.
