    Well, I can see that no one is going to agree with me here. I'll pose this question though: would you be more apt to hire someone to do some game programming or make a performance application whose main language of choice and knowledge is python?

    Depends on the job, if it was to program gaming scripts and we were using python for that then why not?

    As Fordy says, it depends. I can see what you're trying to ask, though and see your point there.

    Unfortunately your point moot, as there are just as many/more jobs where you would prefer somebody with knowledge of python over knowledge of asm.

    I would hire somebody who has a demonstrable history of creating kick-ass products regardless of what their language of choice is.

    If I was hiring somebody to do C++ programming, obviously, I'd hire somebody who is a good C++ programmer. But their preferences toward other languages aren't really relevant.
    Code:
    //try
    //{
    	if (a) do { f( b); } while(1);
    	else   do { f(!b); } while(1);
    //}
