I remember Python being fairly popular for quick work in research 10+ years ago. It was simple and easy to start with but not that different from the c/c++ which they needed for performant bits. >It's very capable in terms of making DSLs. Which is a double edged sword. Too many DSLs means you have to learn and remember a lot more to write code.
