Yeah. I have one physicist friend, and as I far I know from casual conversion with them, the whole team at his lab don't even know if they are writing C or C++.

Yeah. I have one physicist friend, and as I far I know from casual conversion with them, the whole team at his lab don't even know if they are writing C or C++. And explaining python to him, because he's required to teach a bit of it, was a rabbit hole of explaining fractal things.
My impression is that at least a number of scientists don't know and don't care.
