It's not overrated I don't think, neither is any programing language (apart from solidity and other web3 stuff xD). They all have their place, and we, us developers have the choice to decide what language to use in each situation. Once you know the basics and have a good skillset, the language becomes almost meaningless, you pick the one most appropiate for the task at hand.
I agree, and I think the main reason she despised Python is only because of its syntax, surprisingly, as she felt more comfortable with C like languages.
But, apart from my colleague, I've read a lot of opinions, especially on Twitter (i don't like to go there often for obvious reasons!) that Python is overrated
This tells more about your fiend than Python.

Makes sense, we tend to not like stuff we're not familiar with.
I don't use Twitter at all, I despise it, makes me angry each time I use it
same for me, Keff :)
I can't express in words how true this is. "programming" fundamentals is paramount. After that, the rest is just learning the nuances.
This month I have written production Java and python. 2 languages that i've never pushed before. ( ruby dev here )
how long have you been developing in Ruby ?
