I disagree. I write a lot of one-off numerical simulations where something quick and dirty is useful but performance matters and the results can be easily verified without analyzing every line of code. Python would be a terrible choice.

You'd be hard pressed to do any really damage with numerical simulations outside of NaN propagations. C's problems come from the standard library
