> If you don't like a language simply don't use it, there are hundreds of alternatives. If your employer is making you write in that language you should hate your employer, not the language.

I think this is tricky. I work in the world of data and, although I like python fine, I'd find it very hard to find a role in my field that doesn't involve, if not working in python, then at least integrating very closely with work data-scientists produce that's in python.

Some languages just have a big dominance in their field. Python has that for data, and javascript for front-end.
