Of course. Low barrier to entry, and you can have a working application with minimal tooling. Setups and dependencies are flat and don't require a lot of knowledge on how they work (like the Maven ecosystem) or remembering a bunch of commands (like with golang) and adding dependency paths is easy (environment variables are very 12FA). The popular libraries and frameworks out there are very well written and always have been (quite unlike PHP and NodeJS) and aren't replaced every 6 months with Some New Big Thing (like with NodeJS). Then there's the syntax: it's just easy to pick up and flows naturally, and (as long as you follow PEP8) is aesthetically pleasing. It's a language you can ask a SE1 or sysadmin to write in and get decent results quickly.
