C/C++, Java, Python aren't tied to any specific platform and are some of the most popular languages used today.

  C was tied to unix and C ++ was on the coattails of C. Java was actively sold to every major corporation in the early aughts. I will agree, that python came up without a platform to support it.

    python is supported by easy to learn basic syntax + great math/science libraries. as i typed that i thought: python is the excel of programming languages. it also has very solid web frameworks (Django, Flask, etc.).

    > python came up without a platform to support it What about numpy (+ its ecosystem, scipy/pandas/etc)? I get the impression that's contributed a lot to Python's growth over the years.

      Those are probably the only reason Python still exists.
