You probably already know that, just putting it out there for those afraid of starting with the wrong language.
What you're saying is obviously true to an extent, but I will say that if you've been working with a mature language for years and run across code written by mr "comfortable in a week", there will inevitably be much cringing. Especially if python was their first language and they're a week into c++. Less so the other direction as the learning curves are different.
