> Could these models be implemented in say, Scala, Kotlin, or NodeJS, and have there been attempts to do so? Of course. Python itself could be reimplemented in Scala or Kotlin. I'm not trying to be snarky, but my teenage self didn't realize all languages could do all things when I was young, so I'm speaking to anyone else out there who might not have learned this. It's just a matter of ease. Python is easy for short programs (although maintainability can suffer on large programs), and, for better or worse, Python has become the most popular language in the world, especially for numerical computing.
