Re:Ask HN: Why Did Python Win? by dpark on Monday December 22, 2025 @01:17PM (#46356906)
I see. There are two separate but related questions.

1. Why did Python replace Perl?

2. Why did Python become so extremely popular?

The answer to the first is because it’s better than Perl for so many engineers in so many cases. The answer to the second is much broader.
