Agreed. The APL branch has been my favorite so far. I've looked at a bunch of weird ones like Forth, Lisp, APL, prolog, Haskell, Smalltalk, and many others. I keep going back to Python though. It's overall environment of language, libraries, free, open source...etc seem to firm a nice optimal point despite several drawbacks.
- jacquesm 3y agoYes, Python is the Swiss army knife of programming now. It's in many ways unfortunate but you can't beat the fact that just about any algorithm you can think of is probably available in an optimized form if you need it, with HW acceleration to boot. I use Anaconda to keep the gremlins at bay, without that everything turns messy very quickly but somehow they've managed to keep it all organized and functional. Especially notebooks are a very powerful exploratory programming tool.
