Regarding Python, I find it a pretty darn good combination of readability and succinctness. Every time I tried to move away from Python to something I was told was better...I ended up back at Python as both the language and ecosystem were convenient. That includes lisp where when I went through several books...I kept thinking how much easier something was in Python. Obviously lisp's homoiconicity makes it more powerful, but that's a power I've never needed. Edit: I do largely write scripts though and few programs are 10,000 lines or longer. I imagine I might struggle more with bookkeeping with an extremely large codebase. Maybe not, but I wanted to acknowledge my use may be atypical here.
