I use Python because:

- it's a well designed language

- it has a great ecosystem and community

- it runs fast (enough for my purposes)

- it looks enough like pseudo-code that translating what I wrote on paper into a program is that much simpler.

The fact that it can be used both for teaching computer science in colleges and children how to code speaks volumes about its versatility and approachability.

I use it mostly for web apps, APIs and miscellaneous scripts. Python has been a great addition to my tool-belt. There are some languages I hope I never have to write again; Python on the other hand is something I'm going to always keep in mind, even if I spend most of my days writing another language.
