That description doesn't explain why there has been such a sudden growth in recent years. Python is an old language. The real reason it is growing so much just recently is of course due to ML.

This is certainly a potential explanation. But I don't think it is self-evident that the trend of recent growth is entirely due to this.

Edit: The article supports the claim - I should have read it before commenting.

It doesn't need to be self-evident, as it's what the article is showing with data.

My bad, this is what I get for not reading the article. I added a note to my comment, thanks.
