I probably shouldn't bother replying to this. But I am curious about what leads a person to paint with such broad strokes.

I've intentionally chosen a job that is mostly Python. Because while I am aware that it has some flaws or trade offs or whatever you want to call them, it's a language that -- first and foremost -- allows me to write programs that work.

The fact that I find the language aesthetically pleasing is a bonus. When I run into situations where Python isn't good enough, then I drop down into C and do things there.

I'm new enough at being a developer that I'm willing to understand that there are things I may be missing out on coming from a self-taught background that started with SQL and then moved to C# and eventually Python, and then sometimes C when needed.

I'm also open to the idea that a person's language of choice indicates something about their personality characteristics in the same way that you can guess a little about a person based on which instrument they play in an orchestra or a band.

But is there really anything you can say about what I'm reading in your comment as 'rigor' based on that?
