Do they all have equivalent libraries to python's scipy and matplotlib? I think that is why the author could move to python as these provide a pretty large subset of what matlab has and makes the transition less problematic. Java probably does and .NET may have something like this but I don't know of them or their amount of documentation.

.NET has various things in this space, but I think a lot are commercial products. .NET is not used as much in academia, so most things are targeted at professionals. With that said, you can probably get free/cheap licenses for many/most of commercial products. But I think Python probably has the most active community as its been used as glue for a long time in this space.
