C# Makes GitHub's Top 5 Machine Learning Languages List -- Visual Studio Magazine

Although Python is the widely recognized de facto, go-to programming language for machine learning and many other artificial intelligence projects, a new study shows C# is holding its own in the space. GitHub mined its extensive internal data to publish a report on all things related to machine learning in its software development platform/open source code repository. The data-based treatise builds on the huge State of the Octoverse 2018 report published last October by the open source champion now owned by Microsoft. The GitHub community consists of more than 31 million developers and more than 2.1 million organizations, hosting more than 96 million repositories. Yesterday, the company published The State of the Octoverse: Machine Learning, which noted the popularity of machine learning/data science projects in the big October report that prompted the company to explore that topic in greater detail.
