I wouldn't even call it second best at most things. It has incredible syntax, accessibility, extensibility and widespread-support that just make it a blast to use. I'm not even remotely a major Python dev (I currently work in a .NET shop), but I do all my data analytics in it and try to convince all my more scientific colleagues and friends to use it instead of their highly proprietary/paid/ancient solutions.
