But the world has changed. Fortran and C have given way to Python as the lingua franca of scientific computing. So where does that leave Numerical Recipes today?
You can't simply copy-paste the original C or Fortran code into Python. Doing so would ignore Python's strengths (readability, dynamic typing, high-level data structures) and magnify its weaknesses (slow raw loops). More importantly, you'd miss decades of progress in numerical libraries. numerical recipes python
