Python vs Scala

There is more enthusiasm in the developer community now than ever before when it comes to creating programming paradigms and tools.This is mostly driven by the requirement of software and the websites in the information age we live in.There are many contenders for the next big hot programming language of choice for a vast majority of people who think about scalabilty and performance from an early stage in their development in order to reduce problems later on.
Python seems to be riding high thanks to its adoption in the scientific community and its growing usage as a primary language in machine learning and data science fields.At the same time there is Scala which is type-safe and sophisticated in its design and features and is built on a rock solid foundation we know as JVM and has all it needs from the already well-established Java ecosystem.Scala is powering platforms like Coursera...

A Brave New Beginning

After a break of about three years i’m finally starting a new blog on this beautiful blogging platform.All i want to say in my first post is that i’m very excited about starting writing again and i have a lot to share with the world than ever before.This blog will document my journey from a rebel upstart to an interesting innovator and entrepreneur to watch out for in the next few years.

Oh,i had to introduce myself too.I’m Navneet.I love being mostly awesome in regular life.In professional life, i try to mimic the enormously complex human brain with simple mathematical models and algorithms.I consider myself as an idea and not as a person and that invites a lot of funny faces and expressions.I learn stuff very fast.I forget things very easily though.I’m not at all sarcastic.
