Python as the Engine
As I look to the polyglot of code languages out there, I am drawn to Python.
Sure, PHP, Ruby, TypeScript/JavaScript, C#, and Java all have advantages, but Python still stands out from the rest.
* From Predictive Analytics to Machine Learning, Python is the favorite for AI work. R does have a lot of strength here as well.
* As an interpreted language, Python is able to be used for Scripting. But, then can go as far as full services with multiple apps.
* Having the services written in the same language as the backend processing engines has a lot of appeal to reduce complexity.
