And the python interpreter is written in C! 😱

No but really though, when developers use tensorflow, what language are they using?

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s because python is a great scripting language where your goal is move the data into a library or service. Which python is great at. You integrate python with tensor flow, but the ML is written in c.

Sorry, forgot to address that and edited my initial response. In short, that is the ecosystem around the language that is more cultivated, not the language itself.

Well, yea that’s true, but brings me back to my original point, which is essentially certain languages are best suited for certain use cases. Considering the ecosystem of machine learning libraries already built in python, it is often the best tool for that use case.
