EVE uses a special Stackless version of Python for both the server and the client. This makes for a much simpler creation of game logic than what was available in the past. The control structures provided by Stackless allow for a more “procedural syncronous” model, rather than an “event driven asynchronous,” or thread pooling.
In more simplified terms, this means that a large number of actors can perform tiny tasks without the added complexity or overhead of the other two execution models. Our game logic scripters are thereby freed from many of the mundane tasks associated with models that don’t benefit from the control structures provided by Stackless. The creative process of writing interesting game behavior is no longer bogged down by software or system limitations.
This approach also means that making changes to the game is much easier than it has been historically. Many improvements or tweaks can be added even when the world is online and going strong without the need to reboot the servers. This process is called a hot fix."

They will get laughed at3-4 years "experience" at university versus 20 years c++ experience in industry...

But if the idea is eventual change, there won't be people with 20 years of c++ in the future because they will all have been brought up to learn c# instead.
