My thoughts exactly.

I would just add, I feel Python is stagnating as a scientific programming _language_. The libraries, ecosystem etc are still great, and Python is still a great language, but these days the development focus seems to be on type hints and unicode support.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Julia takes over, simply because it actually focuses on scientific programming. To me, personally, that would be a shame; good for Julia, but I still find Python a better language overall.
