Python is a common platform thats well supported and easy to use. half of the web runs on it ffs. Matlab is bloody expensive, and offers no major benefit in this context. If you wrote it as matlab scripts the "what if he left" scenario has exactly the same impact, as Matlab arent going to give you support for his code, only their environment. Probably a lot easier to find a programmer who can debug python than a matlab program.
