>Python statistical code looks too much like Python. Which, yeah, it does. Python is a general purpose programming language, not a domain specific language for statistical programming. I have to agree (with your criticism). I spend most of my day in SAS and R, and my Python is limited to tweaking code from my colleagues, but I don't see how either the SAS or Python listed is better or worse than the other. I actually like the quote in the article reg. DropBox's simplicity, but I don't get the relationship to statistical programming languages.
