It aggravates me the abundance of scientific/mathematical packages that exist for Python, because of all of the language shortcomings that this article details. No doubt your typical Math Ph.D. type doesn't want a language with a step learning curve to implement their expertise, so what to do? Perhaps everyone could at least switch to Go,a language which (as I understand) provides for some basic static type safety, good performance, etc. I spent six months working in Python a while back and I'll be intent to avoid it from now on.
