I find programming in Python dull and a little mind numbing. Sure, maybe Python was an okay choice 20 years ago, but the world has left it behind at this point.

I find programming in Python dull and a little mind numbing. Sure, maybe Python was an okay choice 20 years ago, but the world has left it behind at this point. It’s lack of functional programming constructs, very few data structures in the stdlib, terrible performance, worthless statement vs expression semantics, no multi threading, no macros, etc. Instead of evolving into something okay, Python is pretty much the same broken language as it’s always been, run by a guy who is openly hostile to PL theory, FP, and any major changes to Python whatsoever. If you ever need/want to use Python, do yourself a favor and use Racket instead. Racket is better than Python in every single way (unless you are doing data science with Python, in which case fine keep using it).
