Only if you write them in the first place!

Thread Rules 1. This is not a "do my homework for me" thread. If you have specific questions, ask, but don't post an assignment or homework problem and expect an exact solution. 2. No recruiting for your cockamamie projects (you won't replace facebook with 3 dudes you found on the internet and $20) 3. If you can't articulate why a language is bad, don't start slinging shit about it. Just remember that nothing is worse than making CSS IE6 compatible. 4. Use [code] tags to format code blocks. | ||

anyone heard of machine learning for sports betting? I would have to imagine its what las vegas uses and they are probably really really good at it. | ||

Just decide if you want python 2, 3 or both beforehand and be aware you'll probably want a requirements file for any libs you are likely to need across the machines and preferably an easy way to update all the machines with those libs. Basically keep your environments clean and you should be good. Avoid Python 2. Official support will be dropped in 2020. You only have 1 year in this case.

I'm personally very pragmatic with what I program in, depending entierly on what needs to be done. If you're working with machine learning, Python is the way to go simply because at some point, everyone in the field decided to use it. So nearly all material, guides and software is available only in Python (and a bit in c++). If you're running scripts for windows, powershell works well enough for that. If you're running a server, nodejs is excellent (despite my hate for js in general), if you need a front end: Qt. If you need a 3D world: Unity, etc etc. | ||

I dislike scripting languages, including Python, but come on Python is good for prototyping for some scientists, I had a colleague who was doing imaging science in Python first to try algorithms because it was quick to write. Of course, you can later write an algorithm in a faster language like in C or C++. | ||

When writing js, I usually think "im sure I can do that in js" and when writing java "let me think how I can do sth like that". In python, I have no idea Try Groovy PS: Anyone know Scala here? | ||

I don't know exactly when or why all scientists decided to band togheter to use one language above all others, but that is the situation we're in atm. | ||

Well, "why" is obvious, it's a very high level language which allows you to write something in just a few lines. In C++, you have a lot more to write, but performance won't be an issue at least. It's very easy to pick between the two: speed of writing or performance and stricter rules (predictable deallocation, static typing, etc). | ||

It's very easy to pick between the two: speed of writing or performance and stricter rules (predictable deallocation, static typing, etc).Sure, but there are plenty of other high level languages to pick from. The probable reason Python has been used over anything else for this purpose is probably due to it compiling to c++ code, which makes it very easy to integrate c/c++ libraries, of which there are many (like OpenCV). Unlike something like javascript which compiles to bytecode, so all preexisting libraries for other languages have to be rewritten for it. | ||
