I did ask a question. The second part is me being belligerent but the question was sincere.

I think Python is shit but so is most everything else, I'm interested in whether people jump ship or just work around it's issues at scale. I work on a programming language designed to avoid messy python scripts internally, so I am sincerely interested in these decisions.

The question is unanswerable. Python started as a scripting and prototyping language and that hasn't and won't completely change. It's fantastic at what it does from that perspective, late additions of complexity notwithstanding.
