Essentially, because at that time I was the only one in charge of producing the reports, and so I could choose any tool in the market. (This does not mean that I have not met resistance by other colleagues in using Chicken Scheme: had I used a more widespread language, other people could have helped me in hacking the reports.) Recently I coordinated the development of a similar tool for another experiment, but this time I was managing a team of three. While everybody knew how to program in Python, I was the only one with an adequate understanding of Scheme. So I decided to allow the members to use Python. (This time, however, we produced Markdown reports, which we converted to HTML using Pandoc.) Most of the other codes I regularly develop for my job do not involve HTML reporting but make heavy use of Python libraries. In this case, I either stick with Python or use Julia.
