That's one exception I had in mind. It was a no-name language before Google adopted it in the 2000s, but that was internal and couldn't have had effects except the downstream effects on general sentiment around Python. Python was just so nice of a language compared to its competitors that the community created an ecosystem. That's very hard to replicate. A lot of these new languages I'm seeing are just incremental improvements.
