We're Python on the BE and we don't really care if they have it on their resume because it's not hard to learn (that's why we picked it) and our problems are more complex than just building some CRUD here and there, so we're willing to teach the right candidate.

So when we do interviews, we let them pick whatever language they want. We're not testing language knowledge afterall, we're simply testing logic competence. Can you design a system that will scale when requirements change? That's what we want to know.
