Hi all

>From a recent article in The Economist -

"A recovering economy in America and an explosion of entrepreneurial 
activity are driving up demand for tech talent. [...] Bidding battles are 
breaking out, with salaries and bonuses rising fast for experts in popular 
computer languages such as Python and Ruby on Rails."

The author seems to have obtained his information from "a recent dinner 
party in Silicon Valley", so it may not be very representative. But to be 
mentioned in such a high-profile newspaper with its international readership 
can only be good for Python.

Here is a link to the full article -
