I find it fascinating (in a very good way) that he does find time to code. Python is not a bad language, in all fairness, any programming language which picks your interest enough to spend time working with it is a good choice.

The added benefit of Python is the ease of using something like Jupyter notebooks, which make it trivial to iterate.

Although, other languages do have better REPLs, allowing easier iteration than Python's REPL. Some languages, have both a better REPL and notebook-style programming, such as F#.

But I was really more curious rather than saying which language would be "better".
