As a tangent, I'm really happy to see that Python is slowly but surely becoming the go-to demonstration language of posts like this. Wasn't always this way. Python is so lucidly readable that it serves great as "executable pseudocode". I mean, if you provide pseudocode for an algorithm, might as well write Python - it's mostly as readable and a huge advantage is that you can actually run and test it.
- getsat 12y agoI think the widespread use of scipy/numpy is directly correlated. Python code is generally very easy to port, too, so I'm very happy when it's used for examples even though I don't "know" or write Python.
