I find it peculiar how, in a language so riddled with simple concurrency architectural issues, the approach is to painstankingly fix every library after fixing the runtime, instead of just using some better language. Why does the community insist on such a bad language when literally even fucking Javascript has a saner execution model?

I think the opposite. Every language has flaws. What's impressive about Python is their ongoing commitment to work on theirs, even the deepest-rooted. It makes me optimistic that this is a language to stick with for the long run.
