Well, if I ever want to move to London...

As I said, there are also plenty of PHP and WordPress jobs, but those aren't exactly paying top dollar either.

If you have to tie your horse to something. It makes the most sense to tie it to JS. Until something takes over JS on the browser, it's going to stay marketable. Then you consider Node for the server and the frameworks that you can make good enough mobile apps with JS has both marketability and flexibility going for it.

Then add TypeScript on top of it, you have a mostly strongly typed language.

As (primarily) a node user, there's way more data science an ML in Python than there is node.

If you're still tying your horse (and haven't already) it might be better to skate to where the puck is moving - Elixir would be a good example.

Which puck is that? There are very few Elixir jobs on most of the jobs boards I've seen and let's be fair - Elixir has now had long enough to build momentum. From the numbers I've seen Elixir clearly seems to have been eclipsed by Go.
There are no jobs for Elixer in my market.

Python is definitely something I’m going to keep in my tool belt if for no other reason AWS, Boto3, and Python go hand in hand.
