open-source of course!). Especially today, most students are familiar with
Python (sometimes this is even the only programming language they know).
For instance, in France, since 2 years, Python has been chosen as the
mandatory language to learn programming in the math prep schools ("classes
préparatoires aux grandes écoles
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classe_pr%C3%A9paratoire_aux_grandes_%C3%A9coles>").
This involves 49,000 students (~ 18-20 years old), who are preparing
concourses for engineering schools and "grandes écoles" like Ecole Normale
Supérieure, in order to become researchers (math, physics, chemistry),
teachers or engineers.
