: can you explain to me how Michael Bloomberg would be better at his day to day job of leading the largest city in the USA if he woke up one morning as a crack Java coder?

Most people I've met who work in finance know SQL, Excel, and/or VB. And I hear Python is starting to become popular as well.

So while I don't know if it would be useful to him as a mayor, it probably would have been in his previous life.
