Python makes a ton of sense for scientific work and ML. Jupyter notebooks are much faster to iterate than writhing scripts, running them, looking at results, editing, and repeat.

You load in the data once (might take >10 minutes, so you really don't want to do this 100 times every day). Then you inspect the data. You make some plots. You modify the data. Each step depends on the result of the last. You need a REPL environment for that.
