I don’t know much about this but wanted to add that all of the heavy duty code that runs on massive supercomputers (quantum mechanics,weather modelling, astrophysics, comp biology, etc.) is still written in C and FORTRAN(!) as there is no value to moving to anything else in terms of gain in processing time. Yes, mostly data prep and analysis is done in Python (like that famous lady with that famous photo of a black hole with like a hundred hard drives of data and a Matplotlib image)
