> A surprisingly large fraction of the new people come from the scientific and numerical processing world, because of modules like SciPy and then Tensorflow. Python is honestly a pretty weird choice for high-throughput numerical processing, but whatever, those libraries exist, so that's where we go. Another triumph of python's easy integration with C modules, I guess. And python 3 is also made with the web in mind, of course. From what I understand (which, admittedly, isn't that much) those bindings, along with projects like Jupyter, really can't be understated. They really are incredibly high-quality projects. That being said, I'm honestly surprised to see so little mention of Rails in this article. I would have honestly expected at least an arc from Java and PHP to Ruby, simply because of how its adoption skyrocketed around 2009.
