> for my own projects I have come to the point at avoiding python for new stuff.

But who are you, do I know you? I know some guy who said that about Python and now develops his own Python-like language. Is that you? Because if you just consumer of existing languages, it's something different, there always will be a new shiny thingy around the corner to lure you.

> There are other languages which are more stable and give the same flexibility, even at better runtime performance.

Yes, but from bird's eye view, all languages are the same, and differences only emphasize similarities. So, in a contrarian move, I decided to stay with Python, and work on adding missing things to it. Because any language has missing things, and Python isn't bad base to start from at all.
