At the end of the day the thing that makes Python the best programming language is not actually the language itself, which has a lot going for it, but the community around it. The python community is the full of extremely good programmers, and there is a vast ecosystem of first class resources that are available for everyone.
Yes, these are all valid points, and I laughed. Holding up javascript (npm anyone?) as some kind of counter example that proves python is bad may have held some un-intentional humor as well. Don't get me wrong, I love js but it seems to me like if you took these same 8 points and made them about javascript it would be 100 times more damning.
Heck, I am even willing to count this great article itself as a reason to love the python community even more. Someone who hates python so much must do so from a place of extreme love.
