Hear hear! It tears at my heart that the next generation of admins think Python is the answer to everything. It's a systemic rot of the core of *nix understanding. I'll probably get flamed for this, but Python is an absolute fucking trainwreck of a platform. Even at its core the 2.x vs 3.x is going to break all kinds of stuff in Jan 1, 2020. Just look at the package system: cross-system portability is a mess (don't believe me? run on Arm for a week), and unfortunately because there IS a package system people think they HAVE to use it, which means: BLOAT BLOAT BLOAT your BOAT, gently down the stream! It's kinda like what Dewalt did to miter saws. We've gone from something that could be kept perfectly square and did a great job and took up a little bit of space, to 30+kg behemoths with sliding rails and double bevels, tons of blade travel and deflection, and are a challenge to keep true and take up 3x the space and weigh a ton. Keep your mission-critical tools simple. Period.
