Python's adoption is exploding in the data science / machine learning fields, I don't see Go or Node do the same, so I guess it depends on which field you are considering. Regarding web development specifically, then yes Python is not the latest hot-new-thing.
- nas 10y agoFor the vast majority of a language users, the community and the libraries matter a lot more than the merits of the core language. Look at R. I'm not sure anyone would hold it up as a great core language. However, it is very successful and becoming more so, due to its awesome libraries and community. numpy, scipy and matplotlib are really powerful. Go and Node don't have anything close to their capabilities.
