Yes, I agree -- Julia is superior for scientific research -- including developing or working with new, cutting-edge algorithms that are not yet implemented in any third-party library. That said, if one is willing to do a bit of upfront work, in many and perhaps a majority of cases, it's possible to implement new algorithms/ideas in terms of tensor/matrix/vector operations, i.e., using fast library primitives instead of resorting to slow Python loops.
