This might be one of the reasons they don't teach Python in schools -
it would be hard for the employers to motivate students to work w/ the
crappy languages the companies expect them to use.

Another aspect of motivation is accomplishment - a thing that might
make a C++ programmer proud of his achievement seems like a trivial 15
minute job for a Pythonista, and when that Pythonista is tasked w/ the
C++ job he doesn't get the kick from the accomplishment. And 6 hours
of debugging that "trivial" program doesn't help either.
