If you want to feel like you will never stop learning then join a Deep Tech startup. I did. And I haven’t had a day that didn’t feel like I was lea...

This is really interesting!

It's cool to see a practical post like this on quantum computing. Nice to learn about the program languages that folks focus on in this realm.

Appreciate ya sharing this one with us!

Thank you for the feedback. I wasn't sure if anyone was really interested in the real life of working on quantum here.

Learning Julia has been on my todo list for a while (just many higher priority things ahead of it on the list). It seems like a really well-designed language, and especially good for parallelism.

Maybe this is a good little nudge to consider putting an hour or two into it this weekend :) I'm going to do so to, so then we can both feel like we've made progress!

nice coverage, also I've expected more tech details about cirq, q# and quipper.. etc. I remember I've heard about julia a decade ago but it was not popular then.. anyway learning more languages or being master on some, new learners should decide about that

What's the average time for each language to learn. Number of successful projects per language? Basically, when did you feel confident enough to move on?

C++? Interesting...I wonder if the white house piece against c++ due to "memory safety" is gonna make a difference now in Quantum or if their advise will be ignored

Thanks for writing this insightful article. How did you get in quantum computing on the first place?
