Python, popular!!! that is just so great! I've watched it grow for over a decade and a half. Python got were it is, largely without the big initial push of large companies.

Maybe people now blog about python because the community has always tried to be friendly. It is usually nice to blog about Python, and have fellow enthusiasts give measured, polite feedback.

"... so it follows that the languages where you can get paid and not care are going to be most popular."

But it does not follow that there are less caring, articulate, and productive souls in a more popular languages camp.
