I work in data science and engineering, so not using python is not really an option. I'd love to use Julia and Rust instead, but the ecosystems and users aren't there yet.

Python continues to earn its reputation as the second-best option for most problems.

I agree absolutely.

It's always a matter of choosing the least worst solution with Python, and additionally patching over shortcomings of the language with afterthought-tooling.
