LOL, you and your friends have been living under a rock. I have been using Python since (at most) 2002.

So 4 years after Google.

Which made my point to the parent.

And apparently everyone's been living under a rock because Python didn't become truly huge until maybe 10 years ago.

I did not start using python because it was adopted by Google. It was / is useful with or without Google.

You may not have, but let's not pretend it didn't become mainstream in the 2005-2020 time period...

When people decided what language to use, it was very much a "X uses this, maybe we should" kind of decision. Still is for the most part.
