Timing the Same Algorithm in R, Python, and C++

PythonRTools & LanguagesC++PythonRposted by John Mount September 23, 2019

While developing the RcppDynProg R package I took a little extra time to port the core algorithm from C++ to both R and Python. This means I can time the exact same algorithm implemented nearly identically in each of these three languages. So I can extract some comparative “apples to apples” timings. Please read... Read more

Composing functions and sequencing operations are core programming concepts. Some notable realizations of sequencing or pipelining operations include: Unix’s |-pipe CMS Pipelines. F#‘s forward pipe operator |>. Haskel’s Data.Function & operator. The R magrittr forward pipe. Scikit-learn‘s sklearn.pipeline.Pipeline. The idea is: many important calculations can be considered as a sequence of transforms applied to... Read more
