Scipy+numpy made it possible for me to mostly stop using the various weird, usually proprietary and often highly specialized data analysis applications that are entrenched in the scientific community, and work with a nice, general purpose programming language instead. It was wonderful!
This is close to a decade ago, it kind of blows my mind that only now scipy 1.0 is released. Not that it matters, I'm still a user, thanks team scipy!
- fredley 9y agoHaving spent many years writing arcane integration layers to sit between user-facing services and the weird, usually proprietary and often highly specialized data analysis applications that were being used to do data processing, the ability to use the same language for everything saves years of time, effort and complexity.
- thearn4 9y agoAgreed, many congrats due to the Scipy team! Their library was one of several that helped me get away from MATLAB post graduate school.
