I fully agree. But, the use of Python in universities is also misguided.
In the sense that python codes emanating from universities have hardly any
value, other than the productivity by which new code gets completed. You
might think that because so much code is being generated, and so many people
have these high degrees, most of them are just servants to the interests
of their advisors. This is the new idea of the university. Stay away from
it if you can.

If not dishonest. it is misguided.
