There is a way to see this from another angle. If you want a
programming enviroment for RAD with a strong numerical and OO and GUI
and internet background then there is the possibility to use a truly
OO language with many extensions for all these fields. Python with the
Numerical extension, TK , Pil (image handling and transformation,
Opengl, VTK.

I really can't say much about the OO in IDL or Matlab, but Python does
all this in a very nice way, and for the most parts also efficient.

He, to bring a little bit of an objective view in this :-), there is
also a similar development in the perl camp, but I prefer python for
...

You have no runtime costs, you can deliver the same application on a
very broad spectrum of OS's and architectures and you can use many
different packages from all fields of computing.

Just to give here another view, don't want to start a war.
