Ask HN: Python or JavaScript for Learning Artificial Intelligence?
- bluerail 12y agoI would say Python. I am no expert in neither Python nor JS. But, the AI community really seems to be obsessed with Python and moreover many specific libraries [1] are available in Python that concentrates on AI alone. On the contrary, AI in JS is mainly being used in games and like. [1] - https://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonForArtificialIntelligence https://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonForArtificialIntelligence
- andrewchambers 12y agoPython by far in my opinion.
- 3pt14159 12y agoThis shouldn't even be a question. Python has, just off the top of my head: 1. Numpy 2. Scipy 3. Pandas 4. Orange 5. Gensim 6. Scikit-Learn 7. NLTK What does JavaScript have that even comes close?
- achompas 12y agoIt's no contest: you want to learn Python. Other commenters (or their links) haven't mentioned Theano, which is excellent for deep learning, so I'll contribute that to the discussion.
- vinujoseph 12y agoI would go for Python. It provides more flexible approach for coding and the AI community seems to be revolving more around Python.
- rayalez 12y agoDefinitely python. I think it is the best language to learn AI, it is simple and has so much great libraries and learning resources!
- haidrali 12y agopython because its good in text processing with lots of opensource code available in AI already, consider JavaScript in browser base scenario only
