This is highly field-dependent. My old field – solid state physics – did reasonably well on reproducibility, not least because of a bunch of committed open-source folks who had been burnt by exactly this (and by licensing their previous cod

APL has flourished, as a DSL embedded in a language with excellent I/O. It's just got weird syntax and is called Numpy. Or Tensorflow. Or PyTorch...
