Google, so they can pretend they don't have a monopoly so the antitrust lawsuits are kept at bay. And Mozillas CEO[0] so they can extract millions while fucking us all.
That leaves you with Firefox and chromium derivatives, either LibreWolf if you want something Firefox based or Brave if you chose to get assimilated. Both have their issues: LibreWolf, like Firefox, lacks about a decade in security enhancements chromium implemented and Brave with their cryptoshit and questionable calling home behaviour hasn't been particularly trustworthy.
Welcome to the brave new world.
I remember a video of a hunter shooting a deer and the other deer around it didn't care and kept eating their grass. I suspect most cats are smarter than deers.
I don't see anyone defending JavaScript. In fact a whole lot of people are using typescript now because JavaScript is just so bad.
As for python, that's a good point. I guess it's just because it's easy to use and all the numerical stuff is done with c-bindings anyway?
But the C++ Situation is genuinely different. There's a reason governments are now calling upon developers to just let it die already[0]. That design flaw is so bad it's causing genuine harm.

How are you holding up? Do you notice the persecutocutorial pressure on a day to day basis?
How is the Project being financed? How is the financing being protected from the legal pressures? Just having one petabyte of data somewhere is expensive. Are KYC an issue for you?
I would think that any large enough law enforcement would be able to take down not just your domains but also your servers. Why is it that enforcement seems to focus on domains not on server seizures?
What protective measures and backup plans do you have in place? Any Opsec tips to share for small time pirates?
My local german bank uses an App specifically for 2fa. When i log in i have to approve the login within the app and the website redirects automatically. It shows me that I am approving a login or a transaction with all the transaction details. Since I don't enter my second factor into the browser, a replay wouldn't be possible and it would be VERY obvious to spot the difference between approving a login and approving a transaction. German Sparkasse for those that care.
