Exactly: you're talking about semantics.
In a great many cases, they aren't a first-order issue - which is where my objection to a blanket "don't waste your time" claim comes from.

Just because a language has a foreign function interface doesn't mean it's easy to interact with other libraries. R, Python, Matlab, and C++ are the big dogs in scientific programming, and the inertia behind having a large community behind than will continue to drive adoption.
