Still, it is de-facto standard in Data Science. How? Reasons: Quick development — Python is a high-level language, that is easy to learn and to use Many Python libs (like numpy) are wrappers for C++ code, thus making performance issues less severe Enormously large and developed ecosystem In a data processing cycle (find and prepare, develop, IO, calculate, analize, etc.
