If you're going to do it at all, I agree, integration with GPU enabled libraries is a must. Even so, I could use DLLImport in VBA, and get access to Tensorflow from an Excel macro. I would say the same thing: you can get a dog to walk on two legs, but that's not what it was meant to do. 'Can' and 'should' are world's apart.
- andrewdalpino 7y agoWhat languages do you program in? I've used PHP for a while now. PHP is a language that favors practicality. It's a language that is depended on throughout the world and doesn't (purposely) change as fast to accommodate new trends Having that said - The value of machine learning has become very clear over the past decade or so - 80% of websites on the web are powered by PHP https://haydenjames.io/80-percent-web-powered-by-php/ https://haydenjames.io/80-percent-web-powered-by-php/ I undoubtedly anticipate a steady rise in effort from the PHP community directed at practical applications of ML - Rubix ML being one of the first libraries to make these tools accessible to the PHP engineer
- suff 7y agoI write in all kinds of languages. Just because Wordpress generates it, doesn't make it a best practice. Do you think Wordpress websites are the best? It's definitely not the most popular language: https://github.com/emmanuel-keller/github-language-statistics https://github.com/emmanuel-keller/github-language-statistic... https://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index https://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index https://redmonk.com/sogrady/2019/03/20/language-rankings-1-19 https://redmonk.com/sogrady/2019/03/20/language-rankings-1-1... PHP is falling because it has major issues. It has poor idioms and is slow. It is trending down, not up.
