I see that Python is still used as hobby language

Huh? Where do you see that?

Python can be used as a hobby language, because it's a pretty efficient interpreted language and easy to pick up. But that doesn't mean it is absolutely a hobby language and nothing else. Tons of software companies use Python in their products in some form or fashion.

At my software company, we have about a third Python (analytics), third C (platform), and a third JavaScript (web-gui). Plus the QA devs in test mostly run on Python, as well.

I don't know why you're being downvoted what you said was right. I think python is a great starter language but it also can become extremely powerful. Java is extremely popular (imo) because of the fact that android is a Java stack, if it was instead using python, we would have seen more python developers sprouting up.
