I'm sure this will come as a surprise to everyone using Python's rather well developed scientific computing stack.


You mean the one that's implemented mostly in FORTRAN with python as a mere coordinating layer on top?

(And don't get me wrong, it's an effective approach that plays to the strengths of both languages. But it's not doing "heavy lifting" in python)


Why should language choices be guided by the bizarre artificial scenario where other languages do not exist?


What? I never said anything of the sort.
