It wasn't there for linkbait purposes, it was there because the startup my friend was considering which initiated this post is crazy about python, another startup in progress is all python-based, and python is always coming up in the discussion. If I wanted to linkbait I would have used a more popular language like Java.

Yeah but when your startup isn't covering the bills and you're already eating and living cheap - what do you do?

If you think there's room for improvement, get consulting gigs. Otherwise, found a new startup.

If money is your sole motivator, I don't think you'll get very far, at least in the startup world.

You should do what you love. Make peoples' lives easier. Financial gain is just a by-product.

Go out and change the world, with a passion to change the world (rather than financial gain), and the rewards (whatever they may be, money or otherwise) will come.

Yes, obviously. But a startup that can't pay the bills for itself and the people who work there will die even quicker.

Yes doing the keywords is one thing, the built-ins another, and harder as well. But given the success logic and mathematics has had with remaining largely symbolic, and the mathematical nature of python, it might be at least an interesting exercise.
