Python is the best second choice for everything.
- myko 4y agoI like Python a lot but this does resonate Swiss army knife of languages
- rich_sasha 4y agoData science, ML at least it is the uncontested #1. R and Julia are making strides but are second or third fiddle. Webpage programming with Django, you might not like it (?) but for many people it's the top choice.
- jstx1 4y agoPython's being 2nd best for everything is kind of a meme that's been around for a while, not necessarily a rigorous evaluation of Python's viability for all possible use cases. And this is a thread about pans. :)
- bayindirh 4y agoHowever, for ML and Data Science, it’s just an abstraction layer for C/C++/FORTRAN code. All underlying stuff is implemented in !Python.
