Programming Languages for Machine Learning
Python has become the most widely adopted programming language for machine learning. Data scientists choose different programming languages based on ease of use, simplicity in programming syntax, number of machine learning libraries available, integration with other programs like cloud infrastructure or visualization software, and computational speed and efficiency.
Figure 19 Data scientists have many options for programming languages to develop machine learning models. Python has become a popular choice.
