I was working for a research institute this year, and while their focus was heavily on data science, there was also a push to move away from more archaic languages (satellite image processing pipelines in perl? no thanks). Last year I worked for a company that was leveraging a lot of the Django features to do the heavy lifting in their backend, but was also increasing the amount of code in golang they had.

I suppose it can depend on location and on the market. In the pandemic era and south west of the UK, there's a lot of PHP going now and a lot less Python. I'm planning on branching out with some frontend stuff and devops skills to be able to go for those fullstack positions now.
