I remember the great joy it was rewrtot some MATLAB and Bash scripts for neuroimaging to Python, and how fast it let us iterate. Thanks to that rewriting we ended up having a proper pipeline that we were able to parallelize.

Since then Python is my go-to language, but that didn't stopped me from exploring other languages like Julia, for large numerical analysis or Go.

I see that Pythonification he talks about around me, and it's true that is becoming ubiquitous and the defacto langugae on sciences, specially on life sciences.
