In another timeline AI would have made Lua popular.
The best part is it trampled TensorFlow which I personally find obtuse.
- n7g 2y ago> In another timeline AI would have made Lua popular. I wonder if it'd have been hated more than Python is - especially with the 1-based indexing...
- CuriouslyC 2y agoPython isn't hated AFAICT, though people will profess to hating building large projects in it (myself included), but many of those people also love it for shorter programs and scripts.
- dartos 2y agoEverything is hated. Python has always gotten hate for being super super slow and having an ugly syntax (subjective ofc, but I happen to agree)
- goatlover 2y agoScientific computing tends to be 1-based. Thus R, Julia, Fortran, Matlab.
