Some notable reasons: - Ruby was 4 years younger than Python on the day it was introduced and cites Python as one of it's influences. - It's a fine language but besides rails it wasn't adopted for other uses like Python was. - In the UK at least Django is way more prevalent than rails for web-dev. And if Django doesn't float your boat, there is Flask, FastAPI and others. - Python's 3rd party libs are incredibly wide and many. - It was boosted by Google early on which gave it a stamp of authority. - Schools in the UK teach it to secondary students (high school). - Devices like Raspberry Pi came out with full micro Python support. - There is micro Python. - There is Python in Python (pypy). - There is full windows support - The AI/ML/Data Crowd's darling - It's fast enough for most things and getting faster still. As someone else mentioned - "win" is not the right term here. Win what? A TShirt? a toaster oven? It's just a matter of adoption in specific geographical areas (Edited formatting)
