Languages aren't just good or bad in the abstract. It's about problem-tool fit. The author mentions a specific field and evaluates the fit of R and Python. Do you believe there is a language with better fit to Bioinformatics? I'd like to hear your recommendation.

There's certainly no "perfect" language, but to claim that python is brilliant or elegant language design is to not know a whole log about PL design. I think I'm mainly getting downvoted because Python is popular, and people think that means it must be inherently good.
