I asked you not to knee-jerk on what I wrote, but you couldn't do it. So
welcome to my killfile.
I didn't expect emotional idealists to handle it, that's why they're
emotional idealists. Pragmatic engineers can get on with whether the
strategic analysis has merit or not. I don't know what your corporate
culture is, sitting in newsgroups plotting the future of a nice open source
langauge. Maybe you think the whole world runs on volunteerism and good
vibes. But in the big iron corporate background I come from, people sit
down and have powwows about what the strategic threats are. You can deny
the existence of strategic threats all you like, and stay in a comfortable
universe of engineering merit. That will last until... commercial reality
washes over you and your career like a tidal wave.
Do you want to be earning good money on your Python knowledge 10 years from
now? Then pay attention. I guarantee you that Microsoft has powwows about
C#, Java, and Python.
