What? I have had no trouble with the errors produced from multiple dispatch! More often than not they've helped me get straight to the fix, which is more than I can ever say for Python.

I would rather claw my eyes out than do significant data work in .Net. C# is our language of choice at work, and it's pretty great for them, but my god is it the most verbose, confusing and convoluted language I've ever had to deal with. F# isn't too bad, but once again, lacks any serious data science community and package support. They're also not terribly fast languages, which is a pretty important factor in ML stuff.
