Python is great for doing weird transformations of data that ideally you shouldn't have to do, or normalizing legacy things into modern standards. I like developing in several languages, but I often pop open Python to really "look" at something. I sadly haven't had much of a reason (yet!) to use Pandas too much, but anything we can do to get the word out about these kinds of techniques will hopefully increase procedural literacy in the world, and help ease the flow information even.
