Ah, but that's fine regarding the recruitment fluff.

The question above carries the assumption that one can't be "ridiculously in love" with a programming language because "if only they knew better" they'd realise the flaws of the language (whether that's specifically Python or a different language).

But that's inherent to any programming language - it'll be good for some things and bad for others - using the phrase "ridiculously in love" just means they're looking for someone who likes working in that language.

I suppose it must be cultural. The term 'in love' and intensifier 'ridiculously' just don't mean 'like'. Otherwise 'like' would do.
