That’s completely valid. I do the bulk of my work in my current internship in Machine Learning & Data Science codebases and there is no other language which has anything close to the ecosystem of libraries/tooling that Python has in this domain while also being a suitable general purpose programming language. I don’t have much experience with Matlab/Mathematica but I hear Matlab is decent for Machine Learning - but I don’t want to have vendor lock-in. That leaves me with C++ or Julia. C++ is not the most ergonomic language and adding manual memory management isn’t an ideal. Julia looked promising and I have heavily considered taking a deep dive, but ended up being deterred [0] - I feel like these are pretty major problems to exist for a language of this point in maturity.
