In other words, you are wrong. No, Python isn't second best, nor is it anywhere in the top-ten. It's worthless as a language, as in it's not worth paying attention to if you are interested in how you can solve programming problems by making better languages. It's worth knowing Python if you want a programming job, and this is where it shines. Anything else about it is either "meh" or just hands down awful.
