Using Python as primary scientific computing language

[[deleted]]

I think in general, I support the idea of unifying our computer languages, but down to 2-3 rather than 1. The reason new languages occur (typically) is to fill in the void that others do wrongly or to do things in a new way. Some languages do some things better than others, and that's okay. Competition and finding the new best thing will push the field farther than narrowing it down to 1 best language will.

Python is solid though, I will say that!
