Depends entirely on what the job was. If I'm hiring a programmer who is expected to write C for an embedded platform, then I probably wouldn't hire them. If I'm hiring a 3D artist whom is expected to write mel scripts, then I wouldn't care about those things and wouldn't even be asking those questions.

True, but we're talking about hiring a software engineer here.

No, you're talking about hiring a software engineer. The rest of us are talking about: "Learning to program: Why Python?"
