Knock off the childish fucking gatekeeping and go back to reddit. It's what the wider industry uses.
python is usually the next step up in admin land
python is a pretty standard install on linux systems since so many things like you're talking about use it

Don't take issue with the platform. Take issue with companies that are so fanatical with "we're a microsoft/java/javascript/esperanto shop!" that they'd cram it into medical devices and nuclear reactor controls before doing some sort of sober domain analysis.
Everything has its own set of problems.

tldr is great. I can't stand --help output that drones on like Proust.
Technical videos have helped me perfect my pronunciation of "umm" and "uhh."
Yeah, advertising problems that can be fixed by a solution is not exactly big tech's strong suit.
I'm not quite sure what they have in mind, but I'm mentally visualizing the family scene where grandma calls and instead of passing the phone around, you just transfer to the next person on the list.
Thought I might follow up since I had an interview today - I never stop interviewing - and was asked about duration. My off-the-cuff response was "if a company invests in its employees, offers growth and promotes internally, then I will work for a place longer.

Man, SSIS really stunk. You'd end up having to write your own components anyways and had the extra layer of making them look like pricey RAD toolkit bits to satisfy empty suits. And then you'd have to write SSIS packages that wrote SSIS packages to deal with fluid schemas from multiple teams deploying all of the time.
18 months is the Holmes limit at Bank of America and Wells Fargo - they terminate you and let you know when you start that it's going to happen. It's normal in fintech. But don't change without a funded and secured offer.

From a historical standpoint, there is also the bad blood of ActiveX, Flash, Silverlight and early Java applets that still leaves a bad taste in people's mouths. It has a slightly steeper uphill battle to fight.
Generally the most supported language on the tool/platform you want to target is the best one. Like SQL on databases, JS/ES in browsers, python in data science related stuff, etc. If multiple are heavily supported then just pick the one that's the most comfortable.

Microsoft recently discussed the results of distributed PostgreSQL benchmarks, comparing transaction processing and price performance for Azure Cosmos DB for PostgreSQL, CockroachDB, and Yugabyte. With different implementation trade-offs, the results show a higher throughput for Azure Cosmos DB but ...
