>If you, a consumer, are making the decision then it's not censorship. If some company, government, organization, school, etc is making the decision then it is censorship.

That seems too strong, what about curation or editorial discretion? The NYT deciding not to publish my op-ed screed about the lizard people isn't censorship, it's just how you run a good news agency.

Does Perl have mature equivalents for pandas and sklearn (setting aside what everyone else is saying about numpy)? The python ecosystem has a bunch of killer apps that make the workaday tasks of data science extremely ergonomic. R is similar with the tidyverse imo, but I don’t know of other languages with a comparable package landscape.

Quick addendum: data science != computer science, most data scientists learn coding on top of another skillset, not as their primary area of expertise, so things like under-the-hood efficiency are often second order concerns to learn-ability, ease of use and maintenance.
