Yes, there are a lot more people out there who put Java on their resume
than put Python on their resume. Most of those so-called Java programmers
write total crap. Of course, there's a lot of crap written in Python too.
But since there're a lot more Java programmers out there, it stands to
reason that there's a lot more crappy Java programmers too.
It's a lot easier to teach a good programmer Python than it is to teach a
crappy programmer good software engineering skills.
