It is easy to learn... but that comes with it's own dangers.
Because the schools can use Linus for free, they tend to and that environment lends itself to Python
As mentioned elsewhere it is the darling of the Anti-Microsoft crowd, but there is a twist to that. In practical terms that means Amazon even more than Linux. You should be aware that Amazon is making a huge effort of social engineering, partly to sell AWS services, but there is more to it than that. They have a political agenda as well and that includes "programmers" as a commodity - staffing on demand. Python fits that because of its simplicity.
Python is a money maker for AWs also, because it is not very efficient, so you will need more AWS computing resources to use it = more money for Amazon.
One other reason for the popularity of Python though is that it is a practical alternative to FORTRAN. The science world has finally accepted a replacement for FORTRAN and that has made just about everyone happy.
One other reason for the popularity of Python though is that it is a practical (free) alternative to Matlab. DataScience and data-mining is all the buzz now and Python has good capability for that - using C code to make it work.

I have similar experience with someone said about SAS too. Me? I use whatever tools/languages suited for the job. Whichever tools get the job done quicker, that is the right tool, be it Python or Assembler.

So someone with no experience relying on someone whose opinion they respect? Seems pretty normal to me.
Now explain to me why people with decades of experience still make statements about stuff that was never true or was only true long ago. And when asked to back up their claims their only evidence often is "because everyone knows that".

Err...why ask that question at all?

I'm not that stupid!
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Obligatory comment (take no offense - this is on auto-pilot):
OK - you're not that stupid, but then tell us - how stupid are you ?

Paging Darles Charwin, Darles Charwin please call the burn ward.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

And if you add to this, that there are no topics at all in this group...

Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

I suppose I should Google, but who was he?

He was a legendary musician, known for his work with his own band Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers as well as his stint with super-group The Travelling Wilberries where he played alongside Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Roy Orbison and Jeff Lynne.
His most famous song is probably the utterly wonderful Freefalling - if you've never heard the man, that's not a bad place to start.
He will be sorely missed.

Waaay back in the day, mid(?) 1980 if you really need to know, I was a student and Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers where on the Damn the Torpedoes tour in little ol' NZ. The gig was the night before a big exam which raised a dilemma - study for exam or say "f**k it I'm off to see Mr Petty".
Tom Petty won by a mile. Great show. One of the best. 
BTW I passed the exam.

At times of no work, I code little demos and such for new features in .NET, C#, Core, and such. Then, when the motivation drain is normally here, it all stops at some code I might use later.
Today that drain was conspicuously missing. One hour after starting article 1, I had 1000 words on like two pages and was about 1/3 done. Two hours later, I was done, with 1.5k words and 8 pages. I had to stop because the code isn't 100% yet.
On to article 2. I have no metrics, but it was over and published in a flash, when I went on to finish and publish 2 previously incomplete tip/tricks.
Article 1 is a cool one. Please bear with me while I get every last detail working.

Heh. Sounds like my life.  It gets to be challenging when what I'm writing is a lot more interesting than what I'm doing for the income generating job. Requires a lot of discipline to stay focused.

Hey, I think using XML docs on private methods is allowed, and their content and syntax must be good. One tiny way to code English even for just that one chance before midnight and carriage back to code.
I have SandCastle and am looking forward for a way to integrate data into XML documentation commnents from other sources besides member comments. Like the other parts of the documentation, Intro, Epilogue, etc. It is possible to keep it all under one collection of XML documents.
Pity about the XML, but maybe JSON would have been verbose. And much harder to parse from actual C# code.

Not 100% certain yet but it looks like he died today.  ![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)
Just saw him live this spring. Amazing show!
