I got fed up with Python when I found out that xarray couldn't support unitful quantities. In Julia, it just works. In Python, it turns into a massive project due to duck-typing & single-dispatch. It's been 5 years and xarray still doesn't have units, although it's getting close.
Julia's equivalent to xarray: https://github.com/JuliaArrays/AxisArrays.jl https://github.com/JuliaArrays/AxisArrays.jl
