Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

And so that is part of that engine and part of the technology that allows us to solve these problems.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

So take a step back.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

So Lex, what do you love about Python?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

You're a guy who knows love.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

I know this.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

And don't forget the entire ecosystem of all the packages.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

There's probably huge... Because there's always something.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

If you want to do anything, there's always a package.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

Well, and there's many things that went into that.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

So I think that ML was very good for Python.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

And so I think that TensorFlow and PyTorch and these systems embracing Python really took and helped Python grow.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

But I think that the major thing underlying it is that Python's like the universal connector.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

It really helps bring together lots of different systems so you can compose them and build out larger systems without having to understand how it works.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

But then what is the problem with Python?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

I think that's usually what people complain about, right?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

And so, I mean, other people would complain about tabs and spaces versus curly braces or whatever, but I mean, those people are just wrong because it is actually just better to use indentation.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

Wow, strong words.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

So actually, on a small tangent, let's actually take that.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

Well, so let me explain why.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

I mean, you can explain this in many rational ways.
