The chart makes a pretty compelling case that this is the right answer. The top trending libraries are pandas, numpy, and matplotlib (both flask and django are probably trending at the same baseline rate of any top 10 popular language). These are all libraries heavily used in data science. We also know that ML and AI are new macro trends in the tech industry. Python's elegant syntax isn't really evidence for why Python is trending now as opposed to any other time in the last decade.

The cost of MATLAB, the simplicity of Jupyter, and the community around Python have caused Python to slowly be a language used for general technical computing, not just data science.
