What language is universally better than Python? I don't think Python is perfect, but it is definitely one of the best languages out there. It is elegant and it is has a huge ecosystem of libraries, frameworks and tutorials. There is a lot of battle-tested software in Python that is running businesses.

What?! It's one of the slowest languages on the planet, it's not type safe, it has not real concurrency.

I can't believe people say this with a straight face

There's different mechanisms for running things concurrently in Python. And there's an active effort to remove the GIL. I also have to ask: What is "real" concurrency? Admittedly, the things you mention are not Python's strongest points. But they are far from being dealbreakers.
