Here's an issue you would never have heard from the Trump administration. Yet Biden & his people handle it easily. A call for smarter programming.

... which begs the question: which languages are used to write AI systems?

@jjGravitas I think a lot of the hardcore math-y libraries that AI systems use are coded in C & Fortran. See, e.g., https://scipy.org

It's gonna be a while before those get re-implemented in a memory-safe language like rust.

@rpardee
So is "SciPy" pronounced like "skippy"? Or is it "sigh pie"?

@jjGravitas heh--that's a good question--I'm not sure. My knee-jerk is to say "sigh pie", but I am by no means an expert...
