So I've spent the last week learning PyTorch and Python. PyTorch is pretty awesome so far. Python on the other hand is such a crappy language. I don't understand why the ML world is so enamored with it. Yeah, its easy and for the most part concise; but it has some truly terrible features. I keep getting burned by its dumb scoping rules. Also, who in their right mind thinks indentation is a good scoping mechanism?!?. But the worst part is running some code that takes a while only to have it crash because it finally executes something that has syntax errors. Blech!
