I'm not trying to evangelise. I think the argument that Python is a poor choice because it is "too slow" is based on the assumption that speed of execution always matters. Sure, sometimes it absolutely does, but a lot of the time Python is fast enough.

At risk of nebulous repetition: There are many reasons one might choose a particular language. If you or your team find TypeScript or Go more amenable, by all means, use them.
