Newbies learn, and the fundamental C++ lessons are usually learnt quite easily. Unless we're talking about idiots, that is, but in this case at least C++ is likely to make their deficiencies evident sooner than most other programming languages. So, yes, your big company is likely to be safer with newbie C++ programmers than with Python newbie programmers. Had we been speaking of productivity... but we weren't, were we?
