I have seen physicists write entire non trivial image processing pipelines in Matlab. Where they happily processed gigabytes of images made by some weird microscope costing stupid amounts of €. It (mostly and somehow) works but it is slow as hell (porting to c++ cut the time to run a process from 1 day to a few seconds). They never even bothered with a "real" language because the "computer guys" can port that stuff if need be. If you have a hammer...
