C# had these feature but still the scientific community went for Python and not C#. JavaScript today has almost all the features python has and more and still it's not as popular as Python for prototyping, algorithms, and AI. ________________________________ From: es-discuss <[email protected]> on behalf of Sanford Whiteman <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, November 3, 2019 4:23:32 PM To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: Re: Optional Curly Braces in JavaScript
> People are more inclined to go for readable and less verbose > languages You keep saying that's *the reason* scientific and data-scientific community prefers Python but haven't provided evidence, continuing to sidestep: ● Python's intrinsic support for large numbers ● Python's strong typing ● Python's I/O support ● as Kai mentioned, Python's built-in persistence layer You might argue that Python's robust scientific library support was merely a *consequence* of the above advantages, but you can't ignore these advantages. If I were a research scientist there's no way I would use JS just because it had magic whitespace. It's not the tool for the job. JS doesn't have to worry about being used *literally* everywhere, it already is used *essentially* everywhere. _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
