Python was the first language I learned, way back in 2010.
Between 2010 and now, among "backend" languages I've picked up and played around with there's been Java, C, C++, Haskell, Scheme, Racket, Prolog, Forth, Go, C#, and Rust. You could throw bash, JavaScript and Verilog onto that pile if you want extra oomph - and indeed I switched from bash to fish last year, because it was just a much better language.
So when a tool shows me a decisive advantage, I do switch. But nothing so far has done so for Python for me. I just don't see any decisive reason to switch when I already think in Python.
