Python

Python links and discussion in this topic

What software is used in the field @tallakt, and what do you use for flight control? Do you have recommendations? I’m planning on learning Python at the moment.

We use C++, Matlab, Julia here. Python is a fine language for scripting and data analysis, and also ML/AI. Though it is less suited for real time control. I stress «less», because it might be a good platform for rapid development of real time systems when performance is sufficiently good.

Recently I also see Elixir as a very potent tool to cover any use, scripting, ML/AI, systems programming, real time, embedded. Though the learning curve is slightly steeper, I would say its a better all round tool. As a quick negative comment in Python vs Elixir, I believe Elixir has much less market penetration than Python
