Given that, I highly doubt any of them are even aware of languages beyond python and java and maybe they're aware that C and C++ exists but are scary.
Real Scientists use assembler, C, and Frink! ;)
Sad to say the engineering firm I worked at for 6 years was filled with 20-something and 30-something engineers with only one of 15 of them able to code. Excel use, sure. Coding, no. It wasn't that way 25 years ago.
Which is a very small part of the overall "scientist" world I think, who are probably not programming, or who may use matlab or python.
I just looked, we (a major UK university) as well as having a Computer Science department to teach programming to obviously Computer Science and Electronics students as well as related disciplines such as Mathematics, other departments have their own staff teach programming for Physicists, Chemists, Psychologists, Geographers, and a bunch of social scientists who need Statistics. I just asked the API for courses about "programming" and then checked they didn't mean some other type of programming. So if say Law has a course named like "Coding in Javascript" for some reason I wouldn't have seen it.
The most obvious numerate discipline I thought of which doesn't teach programming was Medicine, and I guess they just couldn't find time to add yet another entire discipline's knowledge into the timetable.
Programming is a niche. Rust is a, albeit amazing and gaining traction at a fast pace, niche in this niche.
99% of mathematicians, physicists and biologists I have worked with have not even tried programming yet. And if they do, they will start with the stuff their friends are already using: python, fortran, etc.
Hell, 99% of the dev have not heard of rust yet. I go from companies to companies, every time I talk about rust, I have to explain what it is.
It's not even living in a bubble if you think that, it's living in an bubble from another dimension.
Having generalization from anecdotal evidence in nature.com is kinda ironic if you think about it.
