It's a top-tier language due to the amazing support it receives from companies and the community. The PSF is well organized and the language releases are stable. There aren't a massive number of releases (or security issues) to try and keep up with but enough where new features are being added. It's usually one of the first languages to receive love when a new service is rolled out in terms of a library or offering. Tooling is good, using Visual Studio Code.

It's on an uptrend on usage which is always good for your career. I use it for web apps and API's and many larger companies also use it like Uber, Rackspace, Twillio, etc. The scientific field is becomming larger and it seems to be growing extremely quick with a new momentum in AI. Great option for building a CLI tool out. Overall it can handle a lot.

It's a language I really enjoy using on a daily basis at work. It feels like it has been the result of lots of hard work from some really smart people. Our team was at a crossroads and tried a variety of languages, we all agreed on Python. Clarity of what's happening with code is important to us and Python excels in this area.
