Would you care to back up this judgment by a few facts?

One has to consider that a scripting extension for an application like
ardour, with an intended audience of little to no programming
knowledge, will have to be as painless and intuitive to learn and use
as possible and still provide power and freedom of expression to the
savvy.

I know of no language that fits this bill better than python.
