Python2 is not dying, its momentum is the main reason for Python's continued meteoric rise. Python3 is languishing though. At roughly 10% of Python right now but might(?) pick up that slack once Python2 starts to die. I've always used Python, but I'm starting to wonder if I didn't back the wrong horse. I've been dabbling with Erlang as my side-language for a years, and Elixir is extremely intriguing to me. I'm considering using Ruby for a new project simply because the syntax is closer to Elixir. A Ruby+Elixir shop makes a ton of sense. I think the better question would be "is Python losing focus?". The answer to that would be yes. Which includes not only the ~8 year Python3 debacle that's ~10% complete from a usage standpoint, but also the Python3 feature soup. They've just added a 4th string formatting method in Python 3.6.[0] I don't even have words for Python3's feature soup, it's absurd in its own right.
