I don't know how much the original author had to do with Python's success in the last 20 years. The success of Python in data science is because of NumPy/Scipy/Pandas. Things like packaging that needed leadership never got any.

The leadership was that the science community would benefit from a science-specific tool, like Conda, and that making one ring to rule them all would be too difficult.

Also, yes, Guido and many other early contributers have been been active for 30ish years.

Conda isn't really science specific, just like pip isn't webdev specific.

The result isn't, but the motivation was. And have you noticed who is using which tool?

And NumPy/Scipy/Pandas exist (and are successful) because...? /s
