Bioinformaticians use Python,R,Java,Julia,Groovy,Js and more (I use kotlin and python mostly but that's in a niche of bioinformatics I don't touch genes nor proteins)... Same as in software dev, there are a lot of beliefs. So you have the club of the js people that hate java, the club of pythoners that hate R, and people that just use what allow them to solve their problem and they are the ones that achieve the most but also that you hear about the less.
