As far as the second part of your comment, I think if you make topics like this impenetrably difficult and complex at first, it will not only filter out the non-dedicated, but also those who don’t yet know that they would like to be dedicated to it.
Python is perhaps my favorite language, and I use a dozen fairly regularly.
My point was about how python sometimes gets used, and how its design is especially facilitating to that use.
