I've never become a fan of the language syntax, but otherwise I've become quite smitten with the total Python ecosystem. The Agents/LLMs + uv combo have made Python so useful and productive for me.

My CLI tools publish from Github to PyPI so that I can run tools with just `uvx sql-agent-cli` or `uvx dlna-here. Nothing for me to handle downloading (directly myself), no environment to manually setup, portable (Linux, Windows, Mac, ARM, x86). Easy for agents to run from a skill.md file without any other prereq than uv.

Really useful library ecosystem to leverage. No more shell scripts, or TS/JS/PHP backend services. I've even used Python on devices I've built around Raspberry Pi Zero 2 boards.
