### Comment:
&gt; C++ is too much effort if you’re not doing this as a job 
  
 As unlikely as it may be, doing this as a job is what I'm working towards. I plan on going to grad school for mathematics as well

### REPLY:
No one uses C++ for quant/stats/ML unless they’re building something for some embedded system. You’re better off learning both python and R. Even combined they require less effort to master than C++.
