The early portion of my career was python. Coming from OCaml/Haskell. I couldn't really deal with J2EE. But I've seen a frustrating trend recently. Where companies on languages like C#/Java. With a massive code base are moving to Python. I often get recruiter calls to lead a new python team, transitioning away from (Java/C#/etc). The sole reason, is it takes to long to develop a feature in the legacy language. Which is resultant of outdated software and practices. I generally try and steer them towards CI/CD and newer lighter frame works. But someone way up heard python was the hot new thing. Now all critical back-end services must be in python. To add to this I pushed for type hinting. But type hinting will "slow down developers". Part of the problem to me, at least. Is the person dictating development frameworks, languages, etc. Isn't really a coder, and heard about thing X at some conference. I like python, but it's an infrastructure quick scripting language. Additionally a lot of the good python devs I know shifted over to tensor flow and machine learning.
