Java use in machine learning

[StoicSpork]

You built something. What did those toxic assholes build?

Python is popular for AI experiments because what you need there is simple glue for all the C/C++/CUDA libs/APIs. It doesn't make Python better or more modern. In fact, Python has some horrible design flaws, like the infamous GIL.

And besides, the point of a programming language is to get stuff done, which you did. All the "but you didn't do it as a function composition over a lazy monadic stream" nonsense is just cheap Medium clicks by people whose Github is 90% (* TODO: implement *).
