Obviously optimization and effective code is important, but you can learn that within Python.

There's a limit on how much you can optimize python, also I am sure the 'pythonic way' or whatnot wants people not to optimize stuff -- I might be wrong though

So, unless one already is aiming towards a particular job/career which involves the use of something which isn't Python, is there any good reason not to learn Python?

I think most programming jobs are not with python.

What's with this sub and python, python recommended all the time - it's not the only option for first choice. For beginner, any language used by industry is fine.

I know bunch of language, I don't like python for personal taste sort of reason (eg: not liking certain type of food) - I find it weird to write stuff with, -- I am fine with other scripting language or other lower level languages, just not python, also that white-space stuff is pretty gross.

If you are looking for one language for life, no one language will help.

On the good side: one of my CSC prof. told us python it's pretty high on the level of paradigm, they know their stuff, so it must be good -- easy to write stuff and such. That prof. likes to write everything in python or python first at least. Then agian there are prof. who does similar thing with C++ / C / Haskell / lua etc -- so idk what to make of it.

ahhh, just remembered I have a project due tomorrow, alright, Thank You and God bless the United States of America.
