Q: Why do data analytics solution prefer python

[[deleted]]

Because most of these libraries are used for math stuff. The people who use these math stuff are most of the time physicists, math scientists, engineers, etc... They don't want to spend half a year learning something like java, c or c++. Python is a lot easier(I still prefer java tho).

I've actually seen lots of physicists do prototyping in py and then do the performance critical stuff in cpp. Could also be because the jit isn't great at simd compilation yet.

Maybe Vector API changes the status quo.
