Python. Having picked it up and dropped it like fire during the 2.7 era, I never looked back. For a long time, my main all-purpose scripting language was Ruby. Then I had to write Python3 for my current project and wow. Type annotations, async, mypy, context managers, actually supporting unicode, the language improved over the last decade. Not to say list comprehensions are any good beyond the most mundane tasks, but you can write a decent library that has the equivalent of ruby enum and array methods to bypass that limitation now.
