            7 Abstract: Numerical models are used extensively for simulating
            8 complex physical systems including fluid flows, astronomical events,
            9 weather, and climate.  Many researchers struggle to bring their
           10 model developments from single-computer, interpreted languages to
           11 parallel high-performance computing (HPC) systems.  There are
           12 initiatives to make interpreted languages such as MATLAB, Python,
           13 and Julia feasible for HPC programming.  In this talk I argue that
           14 the computational overhead is far costlier than any potential
           15 development time saved.  Instead, doing model development in C and
           16 unix tools from the start minimizes porting headaches between
           17 platforms, reduces energy use on all systems, and ensures
           18 reproducibility of results.
