If you haven't written off Python completely, I would suggest giving it a second chance using uv [1] for managing environments and Python versions. In my opinion, uv is the best thing to happen to Python in 10 years.
I don't want to manage environments unless I absolutely have to. In 25 years of development with other languages, I've never had a need. I'm sure it's great in places where management has decided that's a requirement, but I don't need it, and I certainly don't want it forced on me at the language level.
