Ask HN: Best language for general AI programming?

Python has sophisticated ML tools and Neural Net packages, I'm honestly not sure what they are called in Python land, but I see Python on the listings all the time for the top ML libraries. Clojure may also have really great frameworks available by now.

Clojure has Flare[1] and Cortex[2] for machine learning. Clojure is also a great language for data processing.

Python, of course, gives you access to a host of useful libraries for NLP (SpaCy[3], NLTK, Textacy), machine learning (Scikit-learn, PyTorch, Tensorflow), and more general data processing (Pandas) and visualization (Matplotlib, Seaborn).
