None of those are actually simulation codes. The first and third are pre- and post-processing tools. The second is an interpolation tool. The fourth uses Poisson distributions, which is very different from solving the Poisson equation.

  We just have a mismatch in the term "scientific programming" based on our perspectives. You seem like you're in the harder sciences in academia, while I'm in data science in industry. I'll certainly cede the point that there's a great deal of important scientific code in many languages that can't be accessed from R.
