I see python as just a better bash and I don't use it for anything else. I can't imagine writing a whole application in it or any weakly typed language like Lua or js. Maybe Typescript if someone were holding a gun to my head.preference
i know lua enough to write an interpreter/off-spec vm for it without checking the reference
the way i have setup my machines is incredibly autistic and a large part of the python ecosystem really hates it
i use lua(jit) because it's lightweight, flexible and fast and will run on anything i give it
generally if i feel i need something like python i will end up using node (usually for basic json processing and api calls) or rust (for threading or "data loss risk" scripts)
python is fine if you're familiar with it although i personally dislike python
