The battle between programming languages has always been of interest to many. With the advancing world, we have a new programming language or framework every few months. Developers/Analysts/Researchers keep looking for the best language that gets their tasks done with good performance incurring the least cost.

The reason for using an ellipsis in the title is that we have always looked at the wrong reasons for choosing a language. There are a bunch of factors that lead to the choice of a certain language. And with Data Science projects flooding the market, the question is NOT “which is the best language” but which one suits your project requirements and environment(work setting).

So, with this post, I intend to present you with the right set of questions you should be asking in order to decide upon choosing the best programming language for your data science project.
