The classic Batteries Included language.
I’ve often repeated this trope—python is the second best language—but one thing I haven’t always made clear is that being the second best language makes it the first best language for integrating any two things. And all interesting applications integrate lots of stuff.

The old saying goes “Python is the second best language for everything”. It might not be the fastest, the safest, or whatever, but it will get just about any job done.
