No it isn't. This is not how you end up with 7 different frontend JS frameworks in 7 different web applications. Using python/matlab/r for data science is completely fair. These languages are standard in this field, they have the most tools and built-in functionality for this purpose.

I mean if you want to do ML and data science stuff in C# or whatever go right ahead. If you can make that work that's great. But I also think, as someone who aggressively promotes sticking to one language, that it's fair to use Python for data science.

What I don't condone, as I said, is using multiple tools for the same task. So for example, having one team/dev using Python while another uses Matlab and yet another uses R etc.

Yeah, I know. That's the problem. People just introduce new tech like it's nothing. That's why I'm saying it needs to be a big decision. So if it's really worth it okay let's go for it. But for the vast majority of cases it just isn't.
