Reply to comment by Dependent_Change_831 in [D] Why are we stuck with Python for something that require so much speed and parallelism (neural networks)? by vprokopev

Thank you for sharing experience!.

My intuition is that C++ python extensions make it easier to to easy things (then in C++) but make it harder to do hard things.

People always go for convenience first and then move to something more fundamental and flexible.

Data Science was mostly in R and MATLAB about 12-15 years ago. Then people moved to more general python. Next step is a compiled language with static types imo.
