Funny how python has “There should only be one obvious way to do it” and Perl was “There is always more than one way to do it”,(reply>), @Unsubtle Major Dictator pretty sure that's why some of the libraries use c/c++ and then implement in python. E.g. TensorFlow,(reply>), That's why perl is dead,(reply>), @Q In a high level language like python, you would be better making a module using C to hack for yourself otherwise you would be wasting runtime.,(reply>), Forrest Cahoon thanks, I knew it was something like that, and Tim Toady sounded familiar,(reply>), The actual Perl community expression is "There Is More Than One Way To Do It", which has the acronym TIMTOWTDI, pronounced (and sometimes personified) as "Tim Toady".
