ABSTRACT

Great work leverages other great work. However, that great work is not always in the same language. In coding, it is no different. There are powerful numerical libraries and simulators written in Fortran, powerful analytical tools written in Python, and great molecular mechanics programs written in C and C++. Some languages sometimes work better for some people for some things. Fools debate the merits of one paradigm over another and fail by bemoaning what should or should not be done. The wise understand the nuances and differences and succeed by getting them to work together. Here, we teach you to be wise.
