> Why Python became the scientific computing language? Some guesses: - Because scientists aren't that much into programming and Python is one of the easier languages to start with? - Some aspects of its language design, like the syntax for slices, making it easy to express often used operations in a rather intuitive way? - The two points above leading to the numpy project, enabling high-volume computations with a friendly programming language? - Maybe Jupyter Notebooks played a role as well? It's a great teaching tool.
