> am I going to choose Python?

IMO most of the additions to Python in the past decade haven’t been aimed at people choosing a language, but at people working on large existing Python codebases who have too much inertia to change languages.

The cause of this is that the people in charge of language design (first Guido at Dropbox and now members of the Steering Council) are in exactly that situation.

The effect is that Python has lost focus on what it was originally good for (executable pseudocode for scripting) in favour of adding mediocre support for concurrency, static typing, and now pattern matching.
