Here Jeremy Howard ([fast.ai](https://www.fast.ai)) discusses python and machine learning.  
Actually he wants things to move from python to other languages (Swift) and he don’t think python is great.

Probably there are “network effects” in the play here. Some languages don’t have bigger communities because they are better to work with in my opinion. Big companies also play a role.

For me Elixir feels right, Python don’t. This is my opinion.
