The Naive Solution
In this article, I will share my thoughts on the practicality of using Python to work on compute-intensive data science projects. The primary audience for this article is data scientists working in the industry and, to a lesser extent, researchers who rely on computational methods to answer their research questions.
The code to reproduce the results described in this article can be found in this repo.
In most cases that arise in an academic environment, it therefore makes sense to develop in ordinary Python, identify computational bottlenecks, and use Numba to remove them.
