- mhashemi 12y agoUnfortunately, unequivocally, yes, there is so much misinformation. I definitely would not have spent so much time on citations, otherwise ;)
- lanstin 12y agoI hear #9 a lot - Java programmers are thought of by management as a raw ingredient, like concrete, that can be ordered up and poured into a project. Python can be used effectively by anyone who really understands computers and software, but that understanding is less common, and the practitioners are more idiosyncratic. edit for correctness.
- pythonautical 12y agoTragically, yes. I've been in meetings where each of these is brought up as a concern of using Python over a more traditional language like C++ or Java. This is kind of like debating with creationists -- yes, it is absurd and dumb that the discussion even needs to be had, but they must be challenged.
