Robotics

1/n Here's an extensive overview & thread and a few thoughts on Robotics projects and whether they should use Rust or C/C++ or Python

Honestly everyone hates on C++ but the world of the past 40 year is built on  it

Glue and coprocessor architectures:

Sounds about right 

Python is the glue 
C++ is the coprocessor

I was going to ask you why since I like Python, but I asked ChatGPT and it explained it (pros and cons of both), so it makes sense to me. I also asked for a comparison for different tasks. 

In conclusion, it said: 

For Prototyping and AI/ML Tasks: Python is generally better due to its ease of use and vast array of libraries, especially for tasks like vision processing and machine learning.

For Real-Time and Performance-Critical Applications: C++ is more suitable because of its speed and low-level hardware access.

For ROS Development: Both languages are useful, but you might find yourself using Python for higher-level processes and C++ for performance-intensive modules.

In practice, many robotics projects use a combination of both languages. Python can be used for high-level logic, and C++ can handle real-time, hardware-level tasks.

Do you agree?
