This is just an old rant that has been heard before from many language people, Lisp community included, and the author seems to know it but also refuses to get along with that and is upset because that square peg really, really can't be banged into a round hole.
Python has been in decline for years, maybe 5-6 years now. Python3 definitely cemented a lot the current downward angle. Python isn't out and possibly never will be, but its design has gradually shifted away from the hacker community. And that means the momentum will consequently shift into other languages and environments. And that's fine. Each language will gather the following it deserves, in the ever-changing environment.
