2) "A little known fact about Google, for instance, is that its investment in Python (one of the three languages the company uses for its work)" - Gonna go out on a limb here and state that Google uses more than three languages
For a long time the 3 "approved" languages for use in production systems at Google were Java, Python and (a subset of) C++ (Javascript was a fourth language, but was a special case - used only in the browser) [1][2].
I believe that has changed recently with Sawzel, Go, Dart, etc, but he is correct in principle.
