Sometimes when I talk to CS students at my university, I feel like we are living in parallel universes. I live in one where Python, Ruby and JavaScript are the most important languages, basic Unix skills is a must-have, etc. In their world, the whole programming landscape is divided in two sides: .NET and Java. Everything that doesn't fall in either of those categories is a toy. I thought it was just the atmosphere of my university, or maybe realities of the job market in my country[1]. But reading this made me wonder id there are really two parallel universes in computer-land. [1] Based on the name of OP, I am 90% sure we have the same nationality.
