Watching Python's rise has been a little wild. At first it was neck to neck with Perl and with Ruby after that. But then again nobody really expected AI to be this wildly popular.

There is a reason why NodeJS took off and was pretty much the prominent language on github before all the AI stuff with Python. Mind you this is pure JS, not even Typescript.

Processors and memory have gotten cheap enough were development speed matters more than compute cost.

NodeJS took off because V8 is insanely fast for interpreted language and you can use the same language for backend/frontend.
