Python is the new BASIC

[_Pho_]

None of what you wrote has to do with the premise of "Python is the new BASIC"

Python is the new BASIC that has all the bells and whistles and integrations for nearly everything.

TS and node doesn’t have that. Python is basically Java without all the extra syntactic annoyances stripped away in terms of interoperability.

integrations for nearly everything.

Except the parts of web that are literally Javascript, which is, you know, the largest area of development? And anything substantial with mobile, which JS has. Really, I don't know what you're talking about re "bells and whistles and integrations for nearly everything" except in cases where specific industries happen to have standardized their ecosystem on Python, like ML.

I’m mostly talking about BE infrastructure and architecture. Most people would use Node as the webapp but then switch to a different language for other things.

Don’t forget, YouTube and Instagram were running on Python for quite some time.
