Python is great for what it is, but the best language developed in your lifetime? Its type system is janky and bolted on. A good type system is one of the main things I look for to call a programming language great.

It’s a scripting language, its typing system is more than adequate.

It's my favorite scripting language, but far from my favorite language overall.
