  1. I mean at that point why not start using C for most efficient processes? I think you’re thinking that for loops are kind of this “base” truth when it’s yet another tool that happened to come first in the history of programming. Vectorized operations are a godsend and have allowed programmers to graduate beyond for loops. I don’t have to write out my little optimized c++ function every time I want to run an apply statement or whatever. Specific to ML, I don’t have to manually format my data structure to hook it up to pytorch; I just gotta have a pandas data frame with some minor tweaks to stick it into a neural network.
