i doubt there is any personal bias (from the author of the blog post). The OP has been an active and prolific member of both the Python and R communities for over a decade (don't know what his interest, if any, is in Julia). i have never met Dr Matloff, (who i believe is a professor at UC Davis), but i have read/studied a fair amount of his work over the past 5-7 years, which includes excellent extended tutorials in python on various topics such as co-routines, discrete-event simulation, and simulation using simpy. He is also the author of a book i highly recommend called "Art of R Programming"

Prof. Matloff teaches almost all of his classes using his own material, e.g. discrete event simulation, statistical analysis, stochastic process, etc. (at least for advanced undergraduate and graduate level courses, not sure about intro level undergraduate courses). I found his approach of teaching very intuitive and helps you really understand the topic. Even now that I've graduated, I still find myself checking his materials every now and then.
