Personally I hope for alternatives because I don't find Python that nice to work with compared to other languages. It's not awful, but I really miss having type and nullability errors detected by the compiler and reported to me with meaningful error messages.
Also there are a few weird things with the Python workflow, like dealing with Python2 vs Python3, and generally having to run everything in the context of a virtual environment, and the fact that it doesn't seem to really have a single "right way" to deal with dependency management. It's a bit like the story with imports in Javascript: those problems were never really solved, and the popular solutions are just sort of bolted on to the language.
It's amazing how many great tools there are available in Python, but it does sometimes seem like it's an under-powered tool which has been hacked to serve bigger problems than it was intended for.
