It is a shame that Python became so popular. There are a number of choices that are just as “easy” (or better) and an order of magnitude more efficient.

Two options you can try guiding a budding python user to are Nim and F#



Both rather dead because you get to chase Microsoft, and even Mono cannot achieve that.

Short: they're not portable beyond Windows.


? Ubuntu

Nim is not related to Microsoft at all, and runs anywhere GCC can run.

F# runs on Windows/Linux/Mac standard since .NET Core, and Mono runs it anywhere, Nintendo Switch, IOS, Android, playstation.
