Amen, brother. It's incredibly annoying how every new niche that Python accreted over the years, is full of people who firmly believe Python exists only for them. At one point it was LISP refugees, then markup junkies (like me), then sysadmins, then 3d artists (!), then webapp jockeys, and now it's datascience and machine learning. Every kid thinks the world is built for him, but pushing such limited worldviews can only box the community into a corner - just look at Ruby to see what happens then.
