I guess I must be out of date on when kids start learning python then

Ah ok. You said anyone who learned since 2010, which would include plenty of people in the job market now. We shall see what the future holds for programming. I see plenty of need for another decade or so.

In fact Python is a highly marketable skill for professional software engineers. One of the language’s remarkable features is its applicability to everything from teaching to Machine Learning. AND it also teaches understanding of computers.
