FreeCAD. I’m not sure why more people aren’t using tbh.

Reminds me of Mathcad and Calca

I have to admit that while I’m old enough to remember VIM from days of yore, I never found the love that everyone had/has for it. Is it really as good as modern IDE’s?

I downloaded it to try out the AI in Bing Search, but now I only use it for Teams or other Microsoft cloud apps.

Same as for Chrome. It only gets used for Google Apps.

I gave up on the Teams app and went with using it in Edge.

Julia looks like it is pointed towards ML programming and is fast, but I don’t see the same level of potential in a few years that Rust and Swift seem to have.

Rust seems to generating a lot more buzz and I’ve been seeing posts about Swifts ML libraries that look interesting. My crystal ball seems to be saying that Rust will follow a similar arc that Python took and gain some serious ML creds through libraries built by community/industry. I think Swift will also gain some credible ML capabilities too because it has the Apple behemoth behind it.

One of the things that I’m struggling with on Python is the very poor support for AMD GPU’s, which are in Macs. I’m sure Swift will do a better job of using the hardware capabilities better.

I’m trying to work out which one will have better for ML in a couple of years time.

Have you played with the Swift ML frameworks at all?

Agree. I’m kinda looking for marketable skills though and I feel Python may be becoming saturated.

Thanks, this makes some sense. I’ve started a few tutorials for Swift, and I added the Rust plugin/module to Visual Studio Code, but neither felt intuitive to me.

Python actually isn’t my first language, just my current choice. I’ve programmed in Basic, Pascal, Fortran, PL-SQL, Prolog and C at various times in the past. My question was more about which is likely to scale over time to be the more popular ML language.

Python also sucks for MacOS gui apps, so I was contemplating building MacOS/iOs apps for myself as a side quest.

Sensational answer! Thank you.

I think ML is probably going to require a lot of people in the future and I’m looking to build a digital nomad skill set for the future that pays well. While I’ve done a postgrad subject on ML and have a STEM degree, but I’m inclined to use existing libraries as that’s just easier.

Lol, Turbo Pascal was the first OO language I learned, back before there was any such thing as an Internet… Showing my age now.

I have thought about Julia.

I was working on the assumption that it would make it harder to learn two at once. Maybe you are right though.

Nice. I’m super happy with my mini
