I was surprised to learn the programming was a combo of C++ and Python. For some reason I had the image that Trevor Blackwell was a hardcore LISP guy.

- ivankirigin 18y agoTypically that's only because someone else did the work, e.g. OpenCV makes image processing real-time in Python because it is C++ under the hood.
