    Everyone is ok with Python. It’s a reasonable choice that’s well known, well understood and doesn’t have a lot of negatives. There’s a million libraries for it so it’s easy to get started and add support for new things.

    I’ve never met a hobbyist developer who writes Java for fun. It lives in the enterprise world mostly, and not much else that I’ve seen.

    Most don’t create new keys per server machine but that’s not the issue. I don’t bother, I create a key per client machine on my side.

    Server gets compromised once, admin logs in and fixes it, admin logs in next time and the backdoor compromises it again.

    That’s all this is. If you can get in once, it’s a spot you can leave a backdoor that many admins will miss. That’s it.

    Admins don’t generally copy that whole file around, they usually copy and paste the lines they want. Also I generally copy and paste it from my workstation, not another server.
