Your productivity is not really tied to the language syntax as much as it's dependent on libraries. Python Standard Library as well as libraries outside of it are in many cases mature, stable and well-tested. Things like scikit, pandas, NLTK, Django have mature ecosystems of their own, so overall it's a very good general-purpose language to know.
