Actually, there's another problem in the corporate world that has
nothing to do with Python's performance (at least not directly).  When a
manager has to hire 25 programmers for a project they think to
themselves, "well, Java programmers are a dime a dozen so I'll have no
problem finding warm bodies if we write it in Java.  Can I even /find/
25 Python programmers?"
