   I think it has to do with the crowd each language tends to attract. One of the big draws for Python is NumPy and SciPy, so Python tends to attract more of the scientific/statistical community. They're more concerned about data and

   The solution where I work has been to work with payers, healthcare exchanges, and other datasources (like e-pre systems and major lab result companies) on a per-client basis, bringing each client in to help "turn up the heat" as it were on

    Allow me to give the other side of such a story. When I was 16, I took English 101 at a local college (joint enrollment, wanted to get it out of the way for my college undergraduate degree). While there, I was, to my surprise, the top of my
