The reason they started putting warning labels on everything is that the stupid people that lived hired lawyers.

May we take bets how often you can sound the horn in the precence of cops until you catch a bullet?

A friend of mine has started his journey to become a programmer. His class is learning Python, and I mus wonder, Why Python?
I want him to have a look at C-like languages in-stead, (for when he's finished with his current course), but he is adamant that his teacher must be correct in saying that Python is what the programmers need today, to be hireable. I am a big fan of C# and PHP, and I see little in Python that makes them comparable, (granted I haven't used much time with Python), But I can't see it even begin to compete with the big ones, (The C-like languages). But am I wrong?
The real question is really: are there really any big differences between the top 15 or 20 most popular programming languages?

Python is really well structured, especially for a beginner. It's forgiving, multi platform and pretty powerful. I know of a major bank that uses python to do their risk analytics, after doing rather a lot of technology performance comparisons.
PHP is a godawful mess, and C# is tightly platform specific.
It's a really nice language. Sure, people whine about the whitespace/tab thing. But once you get over it (it takes about 2 hours), it yields a much cleaner block of code.
Frankly I'd be using it now if my code base wasn't already in perl.
I'd say give it a shot. It'll almost certainly surprise you.

yeah I'm not sure I'd trust mono in a production environment.

Honestly Mono is probably better tested and more reliable than Microsoft's implementation.

I read a comment from someone who works at a company that has C# running on Mono that runs on Fortune 500 comapny servers without issue.

That explains a lot.
Before you go off on me I have coded in perl because I am a code whore and will code in any language you are willing to pay me to code in, but it is not my first choice of language.

My real first language of choice is C++. But for just about everything I do (multi-platform ETL and light servers) a true scripting language is absolutely the right choice. There's so little excuse to use C++ nowadays. Makes me sad.
So that pretty much means perl or python. Given that I had 15 years of perl under my belt and 2 years of python, that decided that.
I won't involve myself in microsoft's toolchain unless I'm writing a gui.

Granted, C# will be easier to learn. But, at least if you're a professional, you should know what you're really doing.
Eg.
This.that.somewherelse;
class.value;
vs
This::that::somewherelse; class.value;
class->value;
Also methods various other similar things. You're not distinguishing a name space from the various other separation options. Fewer mistakes but less understanding in what the meaning is of what you're doing. When the pedal hits the metal.
