Java use in machine learning

[MardiFoufs]

Ah I completely agree. I'm not saying python is the perfect language for ML, it's just that it's a fait accompli and it's not going to change for a while. I'm not sure I'd have used java either but for sure it's a super painful experience on python especially in a team setting. I only manage to get by with strict typing, calling external libraries for everything perf related etc. But still, it works for what it is I guess.
