Would be interesting to compare the success of languages, by comparing those that were born in academia vs born in industry. For example, Python I believe can be said to be born in academia, while Java in industry. Obviously, industry-born languages still borrow from academia, but what have been the extra ingredients that made them more successful (=more used) than "obscure" languages that remained in academia?
