Machine Learning with JavaScript?
Is it a good idea to learn machine learning with JavaScript instead of python?
NO
It's as laughable as ML in Python. No big deal. The same thing. Under the hood it's still the same C++ library and GPU library working. Check tensorflow js. Samething.
If you are a JS person it wont hurt to get started but you will soon realise the need for python.
WebGL optimization’s of the GPU actually gives JavaScript some advantages over Python for ML. TensorflowJS is very fast. But really you should learn both.
Are you sure about that? Whether you’re using Python or JS, don’t they both depend on the same CUDA API for GPU acceleration?
What is javascript?
its what you use everyday.
The language doesn't matter unless compute is crucial in which case you need more power or a lower level language. The biggest reasons python is the preference in ML are how easy it is to write and how massive the community is along with easy to understand built-in ML functions.
Python makes it easier with tons of nice libraries that don't exist elsewhere. That's the only difference between python and other languages like java, js, go
No, it is gonna be a joke if you tell anyone that you do ML with JS
Sorry, but people who laugh at JS are posers, who read in a book somewhere that JS is bad and just repeat it. If you can build a production worthy model in JS, I’d consider that a pro not a con. Every major tech company today uses JS to extremes.
