I love these kind of “programming life hacks”, but I feel like Python is full of articles about “did you know you could …” which I don’t see so much for other languages.
Since I work in data science I would love to read more “how to solve typical problems elegantly using base …” for both R and Julia.
Is it a community or language thing? E.g, Python comes with more tools to do clever solutions, or is it something else? (Obviously the large user base helps)
- pletnes 5y agoPython’s user base is growing more each year than many other languages’ total user base. I’d guess more people will start learning python this month, than the total number of fortran, cobol, and lisp programmers ever lived. People who don’t even identify as programmers use python. It’s just a different world from most languages in this respect. (Although R probably has a lot of users in this category doing various data analysis.)
