It's not like there are alternatives. Don't even mention Golang - it's a piece of dried up crap with arbitrary limitations (error handling from the 90ties, no ability to implement datastructures with native api, no operator overloading). Might as well use Pascal ...

It seems to me that just few bratty library developers (shamed by their users into fixing their shit to support Python 3) are the main detractors.

Now start downvoting ... cause we all love Armin and his unconstructive bitching.

Are you honestly saying there are not alternatives to python?

Also just because you don't like Go doesn't mean that 'it's a piece of dried up crap'. I am writing Go at work and loving it, but I am doing my side project in python. They are different tools, one of which is made for writing extremely reliable fast servers and one is really fun to write.
