Python is the best second choice for everything.

Data science, ML at least it is the uncontested #1. R and Julia are making strides but are second or third fiddle.

Webpage programming with Django, you might not like it (?) but for many people it's the top choice.

Python's being 2nd best for everything is kind of a meme that's been around for a while, not necessarily a rigorous evaluation of Python's viability for all possible use cases. And this is a thread about pans. :)

However, for ML and Data Science, it’s just an abstraction layer for C/C++/FORTRAN code.

All underlying stuff is implemented in !Python.

I like Python a lot but this does resonate

Swiss army knife of languages
