Episode 191: Algorithms & Libraries with Kevlin Henney
Guest Kevlin Henney discusses the significance of algorithms and libraries in programming languages like Fortran, C, and Python. The conversation delves into contrasts between Fortran dialects, transitioning from Fortran to C, and the challenges of managing dependencies in languages like Python and C++. The speakers also explore the popularity of Python despite its imperfections and predict potential challenges in Rust's package management ecosystem.
