What? You think the handful of regulars on this list in any
way shape or form somehow represents the multitude of *REAL*
python programmers who work day in and day out in the
trenches? ON THE FRONT LINES! 

Heck you're more naive than the BDFL: who gets a woody
simply from gawking at that atrociously inaccurate TIOBI
index! 

 Oooh. Oooh. Python is moving up the list!

Yeah, it's not just Python that's moving up. Besides, 
everybody knows his bots are out there manipulating the 
numbers!
