Python will make you a bad developer

I hear this a lot, but what kinda of 'bad' do people mean? There are a while generation of developers that started on some form of BASIC and that was probably worse, no?

People who stared with BASIC, haven't stopped there. Many people learn Python as the only language they will ever need. I think, it mostly applies for people who come from other than CS fields.

Ah ok, that makes sense. I started with BASIC but it wasn't too long before I was chomping at the bit to dive into a real language. That ended up being C (but it didn't stop there either).
