Don't worry about the future of a tool. They just come and go. As a developer worry about the problems, quality problems you would like to solve. Think about 'whats in it for you'.
The inevitable nature of changing requirements in programming mean, there is always going to be demands for new changes and new features in a programming language. Changes in Syntax and excess syntactical sugar many times come only at the expense of breaking backwards compatibility. What you are seeing now is a saturation with Python. Python is good, but people now want more. I bet you unless Python is ready for major backwards incompatible changes in another 5-6 years they are going to lose this battle against other languages. NodeJS, Go they are all going to eat Python's lunch. What you will see now is cool stuff getting built in some language like Go and will go viral every 15 days. People who had originally no interest will learn just because its getting famous. Architects who just want to sound different and distinct will use it, Slowly but sooner or later there will be job demands for Go. This is inevitable and going to happen. Suddenly people will find every reason under the sun to hate python and love go.
Python will increasingly find itself in the same situation Perl was some years back. And its fans will have to face the same trolling.
Its just your usual technology cycles. By the way I guess its time to start learning Go.
