I have and still write MonteCarlo/Bootstrapping apps in Ruby. Does that make Ruby a "scientific language"?

What do they mean "scientific language" anyways?

[joshu → pjonesdotca]

SAS has a boatload of statistical primitives. I dunno what makes it "scientific" but it's way useful for doing that kind of thing.

(I did SAS for years, building trading models. Which isn't science.)

I hated the language, but I miss the functionality terribly.

You CAN do this sort of work. But it's nice for k-means or whatever to be a one-liner.
