The real answer is: data scientist everywhere

They usually don't know better

It's ok

They'd make a mess with every language...

A beautiful mess, don't get me wrong

There are better languages but there isn't enough "science cargo cult" around them

And honestly there aren't as many code snippets to copy from

My hopes are in luna[1]

p.s. distributing load or using multi cores is still shitty in python, the more dataset will grow in size, the more python will struggle
