> I really don't think Python was close to dying
It absolutely was. What saved it was:
1. The data science / AI crowd that was gathering momentum any many only used Python 3.
2. No popular alternative. Perl got python as an alternative.
Python was also a good, simple language and had a good healthy culture. But it's nothing sort of a miracle that it survived that biblical software calamity.
