I'm not sure why I never ran with Python. It seems like the logical progression on gnu/linux systems from the days of Perl. Somehow I fell into Ruby for general purpose programming. Part of me feels like I should shore up my Python and C knowledge for my daily driving but I need to hone my golang and JavaScript chops for work. Trying to shoehorn lisp into everything and being enticed by things like elixir is making those decisions even harder. I worry about becoming irrelevant as a programmer by not keeping up with the flavor of the week and I worry about not being able to maintain my systems by not getting more comfortable with the staples.

@hobbsc Been cooking up code with Python for a week or so now and it's pretty nice.

Your python learning curve would be like 1-2 days maximum. It's really Ruby-esque, except the performance side is good.

@esmevane I knee python 2 pretty well. Used it quite a lot through the years. Just haven't touched python 3.
Take the plunge!
