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.

Sounds like your experience could be quite useful to me. Could you describe your approach and some of the libraries you use in python?

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.
