It's not easy to "just" switch languages. You also have to consider the ecosystem built around them. For example, I love NumPy and SciPy.

I don't think that is true at all. Python allows you to perform many tricks, with overloading operators etc.

You should probably look into the JVM or .net platforms, where the same libraries are available through multiple languages. For example .net have F# which is a very strong functional language, and the JVM have Scala and Clojure.

Pyhton is not really that kind of language.
