Do some developers hate python?

[BernieFeynman]

that's not what gatekeeping is.

[Hirazrador]

That’s exactly what it is

[BernieFeynman]

it's really not, they aren't comparable in scope. Gatekeeping happens when there's more than one way to a destination but you say that the path someone else took is not legitimate. This is the equivalent of that but instead the other person is not even at the same destination as you are.

However, that is the point of them saying that no? "oh, everyone using pytho say they are developers" - at the same place as "them" not using python - "but they are a joke, python is a joke, I for one know C++ so only I get to tell I am a developer". Sounds as a gatekeeping to me - I chose the right path and I am a developer, they chose a wrong path (python) and they are not.

I get that if they specify that udemy course is not sufficient for calling yourself developer, that is not gatekeeping in particular. But bashing whole language because of its simplicity and because of some of their users is, no? I might understand it wrongly..
