It was an experience on my personal projects, cca 20 years ago. That's when I started using Python and it really felt more powerful than C++ (and Java) back then. Then around 2008 I became interested in Common Lisp, and then later I made the choice to learn Haskell instead of Clojure. It took me a while before actually getting where is the improvement in Haskell and functional programming. This was all for my own personal projects, which are small programs.
I would still recommend against using Python on a big project. Funny thing, I remember talking to my boss (a mainframe programmer) in 2010, when I solved something with a script in Python, that I wouldn't use it in production, but it's great for small things. Forward to 2020, plenty people use it in products. Maybe the Haskell will be the same, you also have many people today saying "well this is good for experiments but I wouldn't write a product in it".
