Python can work if they figure out the type system, right now it's just bolted on the core language. Technically it's true for js too but the js/ts integration feels pretty seamless. Js files get autocomplete from ts code, can embed ts in JSDocs and such.

Types in python is very much just documentation and isn't enforced at compile time.

Of course there are people who believe that types don't matter. I guess to them there isn't really any objective criteria to judge a language, just whatever syntax they happen to like
