I don't think Python is overrated it's far too easy for programmers to become super defensive over their choice of programming language. Like it's two rival sports teams trying to get a victory. I believe there is a tool to suit every purpose and the fact that we have so many tools aka programming languages ensures that there is something out there for everyone.

I can think of one solution to this argument. Just learn as many programming languages as you can or in a lot of cases that tends to be possibly 3 different languages so you can alternative between technical stacks.

Then you can just choose to use whatever you want depending on the use case. For example JavaScript for building websites, Python for creating machine learning apps and C# for game development.

Everybody is a winner!
