I think well-written and engineered Python can do this (given the scripting/easy to call other languages bit), but there are still going to be bits where you're going to be fighting uphill (whether that's because the area is actively pushing against their preferred option, or where a scripting tool is inappropriate).
But what I do 95% of the time is backend services with APIs and CLI tooling, for both it's amazing.
For GUIs it's hit and miss. There are some attempts at tooling, but they all feel a bit off to me. But Rust the same issue, as does C#.
We need a modern Visual Basic again =)
