Just to answer 'why use Python' from the perspective of someone who uses both Python, Node, and Elixir regularly.... Python has a lot of rich libraries in a broad range of topics. It may not have the very best or fastest library in each topic, but it has at least one powerful easy to use library for anything you can think of. This pretty much makes Python my go-to for explorative programming, or large-application development. The performance intensive parts can always become extensions (thanks to Cython), or be services written in Elixir or Java.
