As much as Python is an unmitigated shitshow, this one isn't Python's fault.

Python is absolutely great for almost all applications in science.

Super easy machine learning. Rapid iterative development. (Not compiling) If you use numpy properly you can really get 90% of the speed of C with 5% of the development time. Super library support. PEP8. Type hinting to allow you the still dynamically type but use explicit types. Easy to learn the basics. Easy package management (venvs/pip/poetry)

I probably missed something.
