just shy of 50 emps at the company I just left (though still do some contract work for them) of which 2 are full-time development/sysadmins, one has some CIOish responsibilities, and 3 contract developers (self included). Development there is a mix of C# and Python.
I've also got a few other side projects using Django with smaller organizations.
- Your compensation relative to the .NET/Java developers you know - generally higher/lower?
About the same, for an average .Net/Java developer (but there are a lot more .Net/Java developers for whom I wouldn't consider their dev skills worth the paper their certification is written on, yet they're paid well and incorporated into those averages)
However, my job enjoyment anecdotally seems MUCH higher (faster development, no extra "compile" step, the language is more beautiful & pleasant to use/read, language culture, etc)
