Let me ask that same question from the other direction:
If you're a (reasonably proficient) C programmer, is learning to use Python worth the effort? Or is it just redundant education?
I can see that learning Python is probably worth it for a new programmer, but is it worth it for a proficient C programmer?
[Let the flame wars begin!]
- hansvm 5y agoI'm very comfortable with both, and there are definitely still use cases where I'll reach for Python. E.g., Jax "just works" for a wide variety of numerical problems, handles the automatic differentiation and operator fusion and whatnot and figures out how to efficiently shove it onto whichever coprocessor(s) I want to target.
