Which programming language is hard to understand? - suppo.fi

I find syntax wise, Rust is very closely bordering on esoteric. My employer is currently considering switching to Rust and I can say working in a department with a bunch of Data Scientists with varying degrees of programming experience and capability, this switch, if it happens, will probably be poorly received.

Prayers man.

We brought in a dept of data scientists when we bought a company.

I never witnessed the worse code ever.

I don’t know if they were all 1y bootcamp grads or something. I thought math formulas was supposed to be elegant. But everything was written top-down, no reusability, like coding excel formulas that feed one cell into another and takes a hour or two to calculate. I nope’d so fast out of one “system” they built which was just daisychaining SQL queries into a new file that is fed into another SQL query repeat 7 times.

Mathematicians and scientists are notoriously awful programmers. They get shit done but with absolutely 0 regard to good practices and reusability.
Would have thought mathematicians would be slightly better at writing functions
