All the telecom outfits, all the middleware is Java, all the Android apps, Java-ish (to "Dalvik"), .NET with C# (or Java), the other retail outfits, Java everywhere, Java/Spring and maybe Guice, of course, real coders use C/C++ like Microsoft does, or as, say "gcc" or how Unix/Linux runs. Python is for people who barely know Emacs. I don't even know ctags in my vim which I zsh. Ruby, Python, Ruby on Rails, Jython, groovy and scala, "Java" Script, yes, the world has gone on. Then everybody is expected to know "Web Services" but say "ReST" and there are myriad conventions all over "HTTP" verbs and what a "barely there" in terms of "tip it back over". You have to know your XSD and use WSDLs then for what some few conventions add up the usual business object logic binding to toss into the massively overscaled runtime on the EC2 box for the cloud to amortize that back down to a .0001% runtime 3KB thread. Yeah, they used to have a guy and he'd get paged and recycle the power switch. (It was already on.)
