Oh well, as someone who is currently enrolled into Udacity's Self-driving car and AI nanodegrees, watching ongoing MIT's self-driving course, considering taking GATech's online M.S. degree for ML, I should probably start planning budget for this Stanford offering...

Wow that's a lot of learning. By MIT self driving course are you referring to http://selfdrivingcars.mit.edu/ ?

Yes, that one. It's more difficult than Udacity's SDC but also more real-world oriented. I also have subscribed to most of the Udemy courses related to CNN/RNN/reinforcementL/ML so I have a lot of fun ahead ;-) Hope you enjoy playing with ML as well!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

And even then, I can see why they use it - the syntax is pretty light and largely gets out of the way of the problem-space. The only problem is that modern applied ML is dominated by Python...

I'm curious why there hasn't been a push towards more efficient compiled languages like golang? I don't work with machine learning and AI, but I used to do a lot of server-side programming with dynamic language. Switching to golang has been great. I'm far more productive with it and the CPU and memory savings have been great. Isn't ML the kind of domain where CPU cycles and memory matter?

Because of GPUs.
