You are so correct. I have not used Julia, but what do the first four have in common? As languages, they suck. Each in their own way can be used to do amazing, incredible things. But from a development perspective, they are pure torture to code in.
The joy of writing scientific code in Python is that there is a whole set of users, the majority really, who have nothing to do with science. The language must stand on its own, so Python cannot suck.
