Python is a great first programming language to learn, and it's the primary language for data science and machine learning, if you're into that.
Machine learning is an interesting route to go down as a "programmer" as it's relatively very little programming and just tweaking the dials of the algorithms. Imo a good machine learning "programmer" should be doing heavy manipulation of the data to be in the best and most relevant form for the machine learner though.
Your dismissive tone and use of quotation marks is noted.
Erm feel free to explain the expanse of your programming that you do while doing machine learning.
Its quite heavily used in openstack (cloud stack infrastructure) too.
