I think you may be the one overstating things. Where I work, a biomedical device firm, for every one app written in C++ there is either one python or matlab prototype of it and 5 python/matlab apps to test it/show it off. I'm sure for other places that number is far higher. I honestly don't see how you could quickly prototype sufficiently complex ideas any other way.

Better said, I can build a working Kalman filter, load saved patient data to it, create a primitive db, save output data to said primitive db, build a primitive, but functional enough that non-technical people can use it, GUI, from scratch, to plot said output data in Python all in a couple hours. Can you do that with C++ for the same time frame? Heck can you do it within an order of magnitude of the time I used? If you can't, why should you be spending an order of magnitude more money for it?
