> I read somewhere on HackerNews that Python is kinda like a default language and rest such as Go, C, C++, Java are just for Optimization, once you figure out your solution.

Python is extremely convenient when you are trying to be productive. It is a good general purpose tool, especially if you're doing anything web related. My project starts in seconds and requires no compilation. Stack traces and tooling for the language is far beyond most other popular languages IMO. The standard library is excellent, but also the quality of popular python libraries is unmatched by other languages in my experience.

Python is not super fast at doing some stuff. If you're doing that stuff all the time it may not be a good choice. But for most of what I do, python is really good enough. A user will not notice a few 10s of Ms for that web request, and usually that isn't even the scale anyway for this type of stuff.
