> Python is backed by Google

For me, this is why python took off. People wanted that lucrative job or receive the reflected glory of a winner, so y'gotta learn python. The rest is just post-hoc justification for why you made that choice passed on as "this language is better because of blah..."

A lot of the justifications don't stack up against serious scrutiny, but are accepted as gospel.
