Opinions on Python aside, I'd never hire somebody saying something like that at an interview, even about a language I don't like. You should really look past petty details when evaluating any tech and come up with actual arguments.

You could probably leave the copper coils on the ground somehow, which then I guess would be just like a power plug :)

They should use some of that money to decrease their absurdly high subscription price when you run 10s of dynos on heroku

I think it's mostly because the dedicated servers at your host don't hide between the convenient API of a PaaS like Heroku. Much more things are happening when you do git push heroku than when just pushing on a remote of yours. If you tried
