@goabiaryan For me questions like these are futile and lead to #ProgrammingLanguage wars. There should be no one language. Learn multiple language and pick the one which is best for you and for your job at hand. If your only tool is a hammer, every problem will look like a nail. Be a polyglot, or should I say #prolaglot? So the right question would be: what #ProgrammingLanguages (plural) do you know/like/use?

@kimmens sure, i can see why that may not be for you..

it was more of a getting started poll for the DS/ML people to feel welcomed in here and it has been used as such... for everyone coming from Twitter to know that they got friends who use the same tooling as them .. it is pretty certainly not a language war or a sub-context to why one is better than the other.

That said, i posted something similar on twitter not too long ago about language wars back when i was there https://twitter.com/GoAbiAryan/status/1587566647962832896?t=DlATqVSruhTaubAWqaNAmw&s=19
