That's a highly opinionated statement; lots of languages are used for machine learning, Python certainly has no monopoly on the field. There are significant entities using Clojure, Lua and other languages to do interesting things in this arena.

The cool thing is that you can use many languages to do ML! Once you know the concepts, they can be implemented in dynamically-typed languages like Python, R, or JavaScript, or statically-typed languages like Scala, Java or C++. Functional or imperative, there are many ways to skin the ML cat. We're lucky to have such a diverse set of tools!

Scala is actually getting quite popular for machine learning, as it translates well to parallelization.

#7This is fantastic. For deep learning in Java or Scala to feed feature vectors into Xyclade, we built http://deeplearning4j.org

What do you recommend is a good primer (something similar to the article OP posted) for Python folks?

It seems like a no-brainer that one of the largest programming languages in the world should have strong machine learning tools. Maybe the reason ML isn't done in Java and Scala is simply because the tools haven't been there. Python's great, but if you want to do ML/DL with distributed systems working with Hadoop and Spark, it makes more sense to do that in Java and Scala.

Python has a monopoly in the field. Just because 1% of users write in non Python languages means that machine learning is extremely diverse.
