> So while we have a lot of python in ML (where most things haven't left prototyping stage)... That's a really good observation. Many people ask why Python is the lingua franca of ML. It's a glue language that allows you to prototype quickly and use low-level libraries like numpy for matrix calculations, etc. I wish Python type hints were taken more seriously. It's crazy that you can type them in function definitions but then Python completely ignores them. mypy does a much better job at that, but that's not the Python most people use. |

Its a lot more than a glue language. Its just the right amount of high level abstraction with easy extensibility to make it applicable to most applications out there.
Even for things that are performance sensitive, extra containers/instances are cheaper than developers.
