Skills over specifics. When you use the popular your average skills are lower. Also teaches you bad habits. Learning programming is different than learning a language. Once you learn programming you just learn syntax to learn other languages. Also, Python might be popular but it is almost always the second-best option for whatever task you're doing. I still like to use the best tool for whatever I am doing.
