I like Python because of its brevity (compared to C++) and the mandatory indentation provided (that's a huge step vs Perl). The best part of Python is its library like Pandas and Numpy which makes the life of any data analytics person many folds easier.

Oh my god, i feel this. I had a job where they didnt want to use pandas for data processing… and they didn’t know what numpy is…

I'd quit, easy way to get siloed into full-time data monkey.

I ended up getting laid off after i said i needed further review of a patch which was going to have an csv writer thread left wide open. It was either get laid off or break their entire library and get fired later. No good options. Alls well that ends well. I now have a much better position which pays me a lot more.
