I think we have a slightly different use case as I'm mostly collecting sensor data for ag automation on a homestead scale and I'm a python programmer already but for me python has been impossible to beat so far. The combination of easy of use, the massive ecosystem, and wide spread support/internet resources make it hard to beat IMO.

In the past, I've mostly used python where I create a singleton class for each instrument, store to sqlite, plot with holoviews. It's fine, but I find managing the concurrency on the input side quite complicated and annoying to manage and when I have pull-based sensors rather than sensors that update at a fixed rate I'm never sure if I'm getting data as quickly as I could be.
