C++ and ML

It’s now no longer a secret that ML is more about math than programming. Computer science has its roots in mathematics and, in the early years, computer scientists were mathematicians first. You might be familiar with several eminent scientists, including Alan Turing, John von Neuman, Claude Shannon, Norbert Wiener, Niklaus Wirth, Donald Knuth, and many others. All of them are mathematicians with a special love for technology. During its development, computer programming became a more friendly field to newcomers. In the last two or three decades, computer programmers stopped being forced to learn math before developing useful programs. Languages evolved into more and more high-level tools that allow almost everyone to code.

There are plenty of frameworks that make this job easier for programmers. It now takes a matter of weeks to grasp some framework or a high-level programming language and create a new program. Programs, however, tend to repeat themselves. It...
