Ya, I think it's great that Python has become a sorts of universal / unified language these days. When I was a student, people used a bunch of different languages to write software, depending on what group they were in, or what the culture there was. You had Matlab, R, Octave, Java, C++, Lisp, etc. all depending on what type of scientist or engineers you worked with (Statisticians used R/SPSS/etc., Physicists and Electrical Engineers used Matlab or C++, Computer Scientists used Lisp etc., and the list goes on) At least today, most is written in Python - only the libraries are different. Also, sharing code is a breeze today. Back then you'd have to download or manually transfer the codebase from other users, check dependencies, install software, check licensing, and what not. Today you can fire up a Python notebook, and that's it - very nice for smaller stuff. Even larger applications is a easy as pie.
