The results may include a lot of people who don't consider themselves to be professional developers at all, such as myself. While I've been programming for almost 40 years, I've never been employed as a programmer per se. I've always used programming as a problem solving tool, though some of my code has gone into production, usually by default because there was no coder available or willing to take it up.

Oddly enough I first tried Python because of the "buzz" that it was getting on HN.
