Yes, but unfortunately Python has invaded everything, and one must adapt.

Python is going to be preinstalled on almost any machine I use, with a reasonable assortment of libraries. And even if they're not preinstalled, the libraries I want are likely to exist. They'll have unstable APIs and weird quirks, and I'll have to take my choice of bad packaging systems to install them, and everything will just generally be a pain, but they'll exist and largely work. That's not true for any language I actually want to code in. I mean, I'm not going to deny that Python is better than shell scripts or (usually) C.

It's not like it's a pleasant language to code in, especially if you actually want to use the type support, which is weird and irregular and keeps changing and has to work around fundamental design problems at the core of the language.
