>"But it has proven to be a great language for experimenters in numerical analysis, data science, machine learning, etc. who don't care (and don't want to care) about how the machine works." Sure, python is an ok glue / script to call bunch of specialized libs doing some calculations and display the results. This has nothing to do with professional programming. And I agree that data scientists do not and should not give a flying fuck about how machine works. >"Please do not give us other FP users a bad name :)" I can't decipher his attempt on humor but just in case: FU ;)
