Python is definitely on an undeniable upswing, but you might find your mind more tingly taking a look at Elixir [0] with Phoenix-LiveView [1].

Here's a video that introduces the framework (April 2019): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xJzHq8ru0M

It's based on Erlang which has always felt a little rough around the edges, but rock solid and very fast. With Erlang, service boundaries become a thing of the past and tangible state makes debugging a breeze. It's still on the upswing after 20 years in industry.

Elixir greatly improves Erlang's tooling and creature comforts and adds syntax that many find more enjoyable.

As a guy with web dev PTSD, I've been testing Phoenix and Live-View a bit lately and it really hits a sweet spot between Node's speed and evented nature and the simpler end of React's interactivity.

And jobs seem to be appearing too.

Plus Elixir is surprisingly simple to setup[2] so you won't be spending all night fighting Python module dep issues. :)
