IPython notebook nowadays supports Julia, R, etc and has been renamed: https://jupyter.org/

Python fans are a bit unnerving, they seem to be more vocal among the similar alternatives R, Octave/Matlab, SPSS. Some people simply prefer Julia for its nice language syntax and its native raw speed, deal with it.

It'd be difficult to list four languages that are more different than those in your list. There's some overlap in the tasks each is suited for, but they're hardly alternatives.

From my experience trying to argue your point, python people are the ones who most often refuse to understand it.
