Mathcad and similar tools are indeed very useful, but to think
that they replace conventional programming languages for
"scientific programming" in general shows a lack of knowledge
of the field. I can promise you that the complex codes used
for semi-empirical approaches for solution of the general
Schrodinger equation in computational chemistry
applications (to compute total energies) are NOT done using
tools like this. I just take
one example (from my father's work -- MINDO3), but anyone in
the field can supply lots more examples.
