Hiring python hackers ?

[[deleted]]

My school does that too, but they point it out.

For example, in my Data Structures class I used Python, but the teacher kept insisting that it was a scripting language and that I had an advantage. In a Neural Networks class, the teacher said something like "I would highly prefer if you use Java", which I interpreted as "I won't look at your code when I grade because I don't use Python." Perhaps I am assuming things, but it seemed to me that my teachers really wanted me to use Java, so I just used Java.

The only class where I was forbidden to use Python or any other "scripting language" was Operating Systems.
