So if you take a random dev out of the C# pool, chances are he'll be worse than a random dev in the Python pool. That was probably true in 1995. But not today.

That was probably true in 1995. But not today. Python has become the new Pascal/Java. Commonly the intro language in CS, so you have a lot of students who graduate using Python regardless of skill.
If you said Haskell, then probably. Actually C++ maybe more then either, surprisingly.
- nostrademons 16y agoThat's quite possibly true. It's interesting, I went looking for data and found that Python is now "more popular" (according to one index) than C#: http://www.tiobe.com/index.php/content/paperinfo/tpci/index.html http://www.tiobe.com/index.php/content/paperinfo/tpci/index.... It seems that wasn't the case even a year ago, though.
