Even better would be to try F#, it will be able to use all the .NET libraries, has Python's succinctness, but with a strong type system (and inference).
I may switch to it eventually, but at this point in my career 16 years in, I try to avoid seemingly niche things when I just want to get stuff done. "Boring" is good. I know it's the same platform under the hood but I decided to spend my "innovation tokens"[0] on the stuff I'm buildin.
