Why is that ? I would image that you'd use the language you are most comfortable with and trust the most during an interview ? What makes Python a good 'interview' language but a less good bread and butter language for you ?

- kevin_thibedeau 10y agoIt's a macro expander. Good luck debugging that.
- vostok 10y agoI find that python requires the least boilerplate code out of the most common programming languages. I mostly dislike it on aesthetic grounds. I really like the modern incarnations of C++ and statically typed ML-influenced, but not necessarily ML-derived, languages. There are many criticisms that one could make about R, but I like some of its lispier features.
