>Hotter take: ML would have advanced faster if another front-end language had been available and widely adopted instead of Python. One that is interactive yet fast & compilable, multithreaded (no GIL), isn't bloated, doesn't care about white spaces,... E.g. Julia or some Lisp.
There are six laws.
1) Technology is neither good nor bad; nor is it neutral.
2) Invention is the mother of necessity.
3) Technology comes in packages, big and small.
4) Although technology might be a prime element in many public issues, nontechnical factors take precedence in technology-policy decisions.
5) All history is relevant, but the history of technology is the most relevant.
6) Technology is a very human activity-and so is the history of technology.
