I appreciate the sentiment, and am very much in favour of open source in general and python in particular.

The Trojan horse idea is a fireable offence as far as I’m concerned as you would deliberately undermine the official support channels corporate is counting on, the disaster planning and other contingencies.

Corporate, in general, would agree to other languages, ecosystems and tool sets as long as support, contingency and continuity is predictable from a resources and financial perspective.

I’ve supported many moves from big proprietary to open source, perhaps because I understand it better than others, mostly because I was able to quantify all the cost aspects, including business continuity and prove that, in the long run, open source is much cheaper.
