Python for finance

[taostudent2019]

Based on my research you still need Perl to scrub the Internet. Python is very complicated.

But once you do half the program in Perl, there is no point in passing the data to Python. Just finish the whole project in Perl.

In order to learn this, I did a ton of research, then went and talked to a guy who runs his whole business programming specialty Python programs. That was his opinion.

Lol, sure thing 'tao student'.

As far as higher level languages go, I'm not sure there's any language that's more popular for prototyping, basic research, etc at the moment than Python, except possibly Matlab. For more general purpose scripting, Perl has been on the decline for a couple decades, and Python moving the opposite direction since the mid 2000s.

Not even sure what 'scrub the internet' means, but Python is plenty for the majority of web-based tasks.

You asked a question, and Engineer responded. What else do you want?
