I totally agree. When given the chance, (and if the goal is productivity) I always use Python because it is the most high-level and most productive language and ecosystem out there. I learned it almost 20 years ago and it was apparent after only spending a night or two with it that it was massively more powerful than Java, C and C++ which were the languages I knew at the time. Since then I have not discovered anything that was a similar improvement as Python was over Java. Concatenative programming comes close but suffers from small ecosystem and there are issues with the syntax. Automatic memory management became mainstream in the 90's and dynamic typing in the 2000's. But what did the 2010's give us? Github and Stackoverflow? I think we are due for another "programmer productivity" revolution but I have no idea what it will be. Statically typed programming languages that are marginal improvements on existing dominant languages for sure aren't it.
