IMO, Python 3's support for matrix multiplication using the @ operator is itself worth the cost of admission. Much of technical computing is just implementing algorithms that use linear algebra extensively, and if you're coming from matlab littering your code with dot(dot(X,Y),Z) is a real pain
Re:Why Don’t Restaurants Charge for Reservations?

Gary Becker actually came up with a very elegant theory to explain this phenomenon: an individual consumer's desire to eat at a given restaurant is often driven by the observation that other consumers are eating at the same restaurant. Long lines give restaurants the social proof they need to maintain profit-maximizing levels of demand.
