There is still a lot of Python work.

And apparently surprisingly few professional Python developers, at least in my area. In my interview with my current boss, he mentioned that it was hard to get any responses. It's not particularly unique in its tech stack, either. Python+Django+Postgres.

I had some bad experiences with Python back in the day (1999!) and then later was disgusted by the Python 2 vs Python 3 split but I got dragged kicking and screaming back into Python because the demand was high and people just kept showing up wanting me to do Python work.

I found out Python 3 wasn't that bad and now it's my preferred language for general hacking even though my paying work tends to involve Java or Javascript.
