Apart from Python, even today what are the options?
golang/rust/c doesn't fit well the kind of tasks you would use Perl to do. There is simply too much verbosity and at some point in time you will bail out of the sisyphean nature of the task. Kotlin etc are more for mobile apps.
To me, back end work is-
1. Any serious application, that needs to run for years with performance - Java.
