>You do realize that "vast selection of easy-to-use libraries" is the most important feature of a programming language.
No, it's not. When I switched from Python to OCaml it felt like blessing, since the quality of the libraries felt much higher in OCaml. There are also the projects that you have to build from the ground up without libraries (any mission critical software), and in such cases you don't care about libraries at all, you care about the merits of the language solely.
Python is the BASIC of the XXI century, and it's fine in that role, but not as a general purpose language.
