This post collects some thoughts and learnings along the way. Note that this will not be a tutorial, although I will sprinkle in links to them if you are interested.</p> <h2 id="why">Why</h2> <p>As someone who never had a formal education in computer science (apart from the odd electives given in C and Lisp in university), a programming language has mostly been just a tool to implement my thoughts and algorithms and make them compile/run. After starting work as a data scientist, I quickly settled on Python to <em>get the job done™</em> for most of my work. Compared to a lot of languages I knew up until then, it was simple and quick to get something going. It didn&rsquo;t get in my way and allowed me to basically write code in English. It had an abundance of ML-related libraries which meant that for my work it was almost impossible to <em>not</em> use it.</p>
