I don't really get the difference. I'm in academia i guess (grad school) and use MATLAB a bunch, as well as Python (not a CS major). I don't think it's that much work to switch between the two, and I don't understand why there's such a division. Why is this such a huge deal?

It's not. It's nothing more than bike-shedding language design.

It's an easy thing to discuss, and everyone is an expert. Meanwhile, the real problems get ignored.
