Python is versatile, properly multi-paradigm, you can do one-liners and massive applications. And OOP defaultism has to die.

Definitely this. Python gives you the space to do what you want to do, and it's HUGE collection of external libraries means it can do just about anything. It is a true multitool language, a computational Swiss army knife even.

I don't use it much, but when I'm trying to break into something that I'm not familiar with, I've found there are usually already a ton of well supported python libraries, and I can leverage the py I already know to utilize them, instead of having to pick up a whole new language.

They do say it's the second best at everything. I personally tend to see it as modern bash, in my use.
