A conversation with Laurent Mazare about how your choice of
programming language interacts with the kind of work you do, and
in particular about the tradeoffs between Python and OCaml when
doing machine learning and data analysis. Ron and Laurent discuss
the tradeoffs between working in a text editor and a Jupyter
Notebook, the importance of visualization and interactivity, how
tools and practices vary between language ecosystems, and how
language features like borrow-checking in Rust and ref-counting
in Swift and Python can make machine learning easier.
