Nope.

Just occasional facts that Google founders knew and used it + it has been used in some academia played a crucial role in its promotion.

It has nothing to do with the propeties of the technology as often the case (js is another example).

There are better languages, ruby being far superior to python in devx etc.

“Ruby us far superior to devx” huh? They are pretty similar from a devx perspective, Ruby certainly isn’t far superior
