CERN started diving into Python back in 2002, I was part of one of the first trainings that were taking place.

Same applies to many other research institutions.

Good luck catching up with a 20 years old ecosystem, with a language that only gets used mainly thanks to Google's sponsorhip for Android apps.

Kind of ignorant... given that Kotlin is JVM-compatible, it works with libraries even more than 20 years old.

Do I care if it is at parity with Python? Hell no I don't, as long as it allows me to accomplish the tasks I need -- and it does, faster, easier, with fewer errors -- then I'm very happy.
