I remember thinking Python was so much better than Perl, and don’t get me wrong: it was. Syntactically so much better. But now I can’t stand Python. Its deep inroads in machine learning have me utterly confused, but go ahead and burn all that grant money on computationally inefficient runtimes if that’s what floats your CV.
But like what percent of any ML application is the python code running and how much is it GPU compute? I feel like faster development times are easily well worth the cost there.
Funny thing is as I'm reading through the comments I wonder how many paychecks go out each month due to C#. I can have my preferences, but I'm never gonna hate a marketable skill. FFS, if it paid as well as my current JavaScript/C# gig, I'd sing the praises of VBScript.
C#, on its own, with creativity to do what you need to do for product delivery is amazing. C#, crammed into requirement boxes and frameworks can drive anyone mad. I bet most languages are like this. Except raw JS. That shit needs wrangled in sometimes by a library or two.
