They’re essential. Until a short while ago, data analysts concentrated on algorithms, and containers were merely there to help. However with the avalanche of data we’re currently seeing in the Big Data era, deciding what data containers we’re going to use for our analysis is critical to be able to handle data efficiently. In fact, a suboptimal choice of container may mean the difference between being able to make a Big Data analysis or not.
As I said before, it’s essential. High-yield compression in fast disks (SSD) can mean being able to store large quantities of data on laptops or single servers which would otherwise require a cluster with many nodes. And while clusters take a lot of time and experience to develop, it’s much simpler and faster to develop systems with a single node, and speeds up the whole development process.
Although I’m not 100% familiar with Ruby and PHP, my impression is that PHP is more geared to developing web applications very fast. You can do this with Python too, but with the extra bonus of structuring –and therefore maintainability– that you don’t get from PHP.
Basically the fact that this is a simple but very powerful language, with an enormous ecosystem of packages that work very efficiently, and in many cases have inherited the simplicity of the language in their APIs.
This is part of the initial design, so I guess that Guido Van Rossum, the creator of the language and BDFL (Benevolent Dictator For Life), can take much of the blame for that.

An API is a very useful mechanism that connects two pieces of software equipment to exchange messages or data in a standard format such as XML or JSON. Thus, it becomes an instrument that can be used to search for revenue, open the doors to talent or innovate and automate processes.
APIs can be a great support when automating business processes Companies, often with a focus on SMEs, spend too many man-hours on time-consuming business processes, thereby making mistakes that a machine would never make. How can business process automation (BPA) help these companies? Is it possible to make use of APIs for BPA? What is […]

Ecommerce has been making inroads among the Spanish for over two decades. In 2000, it was a marginal and niche activity. Now it is almost universal.
