Interviewing in Python for my semi-dream job is one of the best decisions I ever made (on par with switching from Emacs to Vim). I don't even know the language that well, I'm an intermediate user at best, but the the reduction in cognitive load from how straightforward and ergonomic it is is crazy. It was also nice that they had an editor available with serviceable Vim bindings. I think it was a big improvement over coding on a whiteboard.
