Dropbox moved parts from Python to Golang already in 2014. Google fired the Python team last year and I hear that it does not use Python for new code. Instagram is kept afloat by gigantic hacks. The scientific ecosystem was always there, but relied on heavy marketing to academics, who (sadly) in turn indoctrinate new students to use Python as a first language. I did forget about sysadmin use cases in Linux distributions, but they could be easily replaced by even Perl, as leaner BSD distributions already do.
