Was python really ahead of shell for scripting in 1994?

  No :-)

  I remember it as at that time Windows and Unix was the common systems. I know we collected statistics for our business software offering that could run on multiple types of Unix and on Windows. Around 1998 I think 70% of all customers choose Windows. It was easier and cheaper. So, I would say that the most common scripting language in the late 90s was VBScript. I also can't recall any of the Unix gurus at our company using Python. They used bash, zsh or other shells.

    1998 was pretty different than 1994, though?
