I have to admit - I use C# for that nowadays, at least as long as I don't have to follow the standard coding guidelines (which are great for software with a mid/long life-cycle). Once you get over the learning curve and don't have to apply good engineering practices (i.e. write code comparable to Python/Go norms) then it's way more productive (time-to-working-solution) and dependency management is great. The best bit - a huge amount of effort is going into reducing boilerplate so it's getting better and better with each release.

If I'm working with less experienced developers or people for whom software engineering is a side issue (researchers/academics, security experts, data-scientists) then it's Python all the way.
