Difficulty Finding Python Developers

[Jonathan Daugherty]

# If I were his management, here I might say, "But I thought you
# said Python was older than Java!  If it's so good, why hasn't it
# caught on more than Java?" or "How can it build on the strengths
# of Java when it's older?"

The supposition that something is inherently good or better does not
imply that it will become popular.  Managerial mandate and hype
usually determine "popularity." :)

# or worse?  And wouldn't the best programmers be using the most
# popular languages, because they would make more money that way?"

Whether one is a good programmer and whether one is out to let
one's salary determine one's skill set are two totally different
qualities.  People who use 'popular' languages are rarely the best
programmers *because* they use popular languages; it's not that
deterministic.
