Physics student here. I write a lot of python scripts/notebooks, which tend to be very imperative in style. They're usually just one-off programs, and there's little in them to be abstracted out. I rarely drop into C, as numba+scipy is usually fast enough. Other than that, I use Mathematica quite a bit for playing around with ideas. I've tried sympy, and I hoped to switch to it but it's just not as fluid and integrated. If I'm coding for fun I tend to come back to FP and OO, I'll use either Haskell, Python or CL. I've been meaning to make something using Rust for a while. I'm planning on building a fermentation chamber (and perhaps a kegerator depending on my budget) for homebrewing at some point over the next year; I'm thinking that I might use Rust for the temperature controller.
