>Python lived in relative obscurity throughout the 1990's and early oughts before becoming an overnight success. I doubt Python became an overnight success. If so, it's more likely to have been the "I became an overnight success in 10 years" kind of overnight success. Python has been seeing steady growth in usage over many years. I'm also aware of the fact that it has come into the limelight somewhat more, a bit recently, but that does not take away the credit from the steady growth that happened before, and the community responsible for it - because these things do not happen by themselves or just due to hype.
