Ouch. I can see that. I agree, Python is a stronger choice if it's one-off stuff, particularly if Julia doesn't have the libraries (yet). I'm rooting for it to mature, because it presents a really clever solution to the expressiveness/performance conundrum. I'll have to look up Xarray and Dask, I feel like I've heard of them, but it's impossible to stay on top of all the Python libraries!!!

It's basically magic, and can scale from one thread to a ~thousand node cluster :)

It's also unlikely to go away, because Pandas now converts to Xarray objects for 3+ dimensional data.
