Many Python programmers -- perhaps the majority -- know more than one programming language, enjoy some of them, and can appreciate their strengths and the differences between them. Most of the core devs are competent C programmers. I don't know what percentage of Python programmers know only Python, and no other language, but my guess is that outside of school kids learning the language because their school makes it compulsory, it's probably a small percentage. The Python community has a long and glorious history of borrowing ideas from other languages, without slavishly following them. Neither "not invented here" nor "never invented here". These are not the characteristics of "us-versus-them". -- Steven D'Aprano "Ever since I learned about confirmation bias, I've been seeing it everywhere." -- Jon Ronson -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
