It is hard to believe that Python is objectively that much more productive than other languages. I know Python moderately well (with much more real world experience in C#). I like Python very much but I don't think it is significantly more productive than C#.

Python is out of this world more productive in the Science space and Data space.

The only thing that can compete with it for productivity in the science space is R.

This. C#, Java or even newcomers such as Kotlin/Go are even in the same ballpark due to the REPL/Jupyter alone. Let alone when you consider the ecosystem

If you are in a lab (natural science lab) or anywhere close to data, I bet you it is much more productive, even more so when you have to factor in that the code might be exposed to non-technical individuals.
