This article is beyond terrible. I'm a python-head, so I appreciate the praise, but its all vague and for the wrong reasons.<p>Conclusion from the link:<p>><i>To sum up, Python is arguably the best programming language for machine learning, as it is a general-purpose language that is suited for a variety of machine learning tasks. R is better suited for data analysis and statistical tasks as it is specifically designed for statistical computing.</i><p>Conveniently ignoring Julia, the reason why python is the best suited lang for ML is because... its general purpose? Uh, what?
