Python Shorts
Python Pro Tip: Want to use R/Java/C or Any Language in Python?
Python provides a basic and simple way to handle such requirements where we have to switch to and fro between multiple languages
Python is great. Really great.
But the field is getting/will get language agnostic with time. And a lot of great work is being done in many other languages.
While I still treat Python as a primary language, I never hesitate to move to a different language if it gets the work done.
The fact is that every language has evolved in such a way that it has built its stronghold in certain areas. For example, Some people may find it easier to use R for regression, or Plot in R using ggplot(Though I sincerely feel Python has come a long way in the visualization department.)
Sometimes it is because a particular library is written in Java/C and someone hasn’t yet ported it to Python.
But is there a better way to handle this constant nuisance?
I like Python because I understand it well now. It is easy for me to do so many things in Python as compared to doing it in R or Java or Scala.
