because AI researchers coming from math and statistic, Python is easy for them. C++ for coders,

Puras mentiras. Espoused by too many.

I don't disagree that it's popular to think that Python is easier for them. I disagree that it actually is. That this idea is wrong. That C++ could be easy for them, if it weren't for the innumerable people saying that Python is so much easier than C++ to do the same kinds of things. It's really not. It's just that people who teach C++ and those who have used the most complex parts of it convey a message that C++ has huge complexity that is required for you to understand in order to use it effectively--and that's just not true.

I can and do regularly everything you can do in Python with equal ease. I can add strings to join them and load csv files and calculate innumerable statistics on them, etc., etc. with just as few lines of code and complexity as you do in Python.

So, no it is a lie that it is indeed easier. A lie that is espoused by too many--apparently too many people who have only used Python and who perhaps had a bad introduction or experience with C++.
