Imagine a parallel universe where Python were not invented and all data science machine learning stuff are based on R and small companies use R for production.

[@cowofwar]

R is great for making figures with plotly (but you can do that with python or other languages). God have mercy on anyone that is actually using R to do anything more than that. Even a simple string is handled inconsistently and differently by packages. From my point of view, each package is effectively a different language.

[@Flackon]

To be fair, that's the rational thing to do, considering how C is

[@yvrelna]

Well, not really. When you're using Python, you're most likely using C. Most databases and data science libraries are under-the-hood, written in C, C++, or some other languages that are meant to be fast. Python is a great language to glue these really well-written libraries together into a useful product, but CPU-bound computational problems aren't its forte. Instead, Python is really powerful because it makes it easy to call into off-the-shelf libraries written in other languages to solve practical problems, rather than spending time trying to reinvent every little thing in Python.

[@RogerValor]

i started to love this series. python used to be such a quiet and nice community, where it was about finishing the code in simple readable manner, and of course we always talked about how to replace stuff with C :D but the closest i came was writing something in Cython. not complaining, that now i easily get python jobs tho. lately it feels like every second job searching java programmer coming into python jobs brings in more and more "required" architecture ideas. i try to accomodate their requirements, write nice type-hinted dataclasses, build layered architectures, find ways to express interfaces, but the nagging does not stop. Damn you, Java.

[@gamgnamstile]

Goddamit this is so relatable

[@samyvilar]

This reminds me of people speaking languages significantly different then their native tongues, I wouldn’t be surprised if we needed just as much effort mastering a new programming language as any other natural language.

[@davidtaylor6124]

I was one of those Java guys who decided to switch to Python before it (Python) becomes the next COBOL. And I did moan about the lack of type info, and laughed at how everyone now says you need the if __name__ == '__main__' ... and basically as time goes on Python becomes more like Java. But I have to say I've come to like it. I'd reach for Python before Java these days and I never thought that would happen. I disagree with everyone who says it's a 'simple language' though. It's hellishly complicated compared to Java, but with the complexity comes a lot of good stuff.

unsure about julia. i don't like the idea to have a language with so high and many goals, and some of the disputes i read were red flags for me. i loved the concept early on and wish it all the best. i rather went towards rust. I did the same thing back then when it was ruby or python, in 2004. I found python was more grounded and humble, so i went for the snake, even if everybody was talking about ruby.

[@KevinFlowersJr]

The thing that Julia needs is (1) better documentation, (2) better & longer support & maintenance for it's libraries/packages, (3) better onboarding for newcomers as to which packages/libraries give them the utilities they need for a given project, and (4) one of the FAANG companies to spend like 5% of their R&D budget on doing something in Julia over Python so (a) they see the insane C-like performance gains with similar simplicity of Python-like syntax that Julia offers, and (b) so other people think, "Huh, a FAANG company invested in this language, maybe I should take a look... 🤔"
