what do you think about AI(artificial intelligence)? and best language for AI ... i like c++ and go

Julia

@FitzSuperUser reason!

@MrErvin well in my opinion the one languages that are going to run AI effectively are languages that are built to crunch tonnes of data like R or MATLAB ... Thing is in these situation Julia destroys them even at scale so to mean is a more natural choose

Only issue being it's not been around as others

Python, Googles tensorflow and facebooks fasttext uses it.

Until now the only language I've coded for AI was Lisp

@heyheni python 👌 simple and clear syntax but make me sad ... you should space space and space ! i hate that

Python sklearn, gym, universe...

unfortunately python mostly cause that's what most of the libraries are written for so it's an easier start

@MrErvin tabs!

Guys it's really not going to be written in python if your talking true AI ... It will not be python ... It's to slow. Far to slow. @jckimble @chradeomhr53 @MrErvin @heyheni

Not saying it won't have useful things built with it but honestly if someone is intelligent enough to build a real AI they won't be using python

@FitzSuperUser I wasn't saying it wouldn't be better with faster languages. just at the current point python is the best choice due to the support libraries. I wouldn't use it to build an advanced ai either

True AI could be written in anything, it would just re-write itself if it needed to ;)

@faisalhakim47 tabs or space

@feynman yeah but some languages have better library about ai

@FitzSuperUser cython is a thing, and most of numpy is hella optimized. Python can be made to go quickly.

If someone is 'intelligent' enough to build a complex AI, they might not give a fuck about language syntax or want to waste a year learning a more difficult language. Intelligence doesn't require give-a-fucks. They could write it on scratch for all that matters and someone could (painfully) port it into C for mainstream use.

Write in whatever language gets in your way the least and has whatever tools you need. Focus on the logic, not the language. Optimize later after you implement (but implement wisely).
