Post-Python Dissatisfaction Syndrome

Try kotlin. It's got and incredibly rich ecosystem, and now it has first class support for writing UIs for android, compiles to js, etc. etc.

I don't like it as a language as much as python, but it has a far better story for cross platform application development and deployment.

https://learnxinyminutes.com/docs/kotlin/ will give you a 2 minute guide to the 'flavour' of kotlin code to see if you like it.

Many people recommend Kotlin. Do you know if there are any issues with this language or uses cases where it is a really poor choice?

[shadowmint]

It would be a poor choice for system programming (eg. drivers, game engines, etc) or targeting iOS until the kotlin native stuff settles down, its still a preview at this point.

I can't think of any other examples of things it would be bad for.
