Programming languages are just tools. People that are finding they are productive with a language/tool are out building things and not complaining.

I'm personally not someone that likes to look at new languages and compare them for the sake of it. There are folks that like to compare compilers or interpreters and the internals of how those work and debate them.

I'm more interested if something new can help me in delivery of working software. Having moved from a Java world to Ruby/Rails, I find it not just helps me deliver, it pretty much gets out of my way (most of the time) compared to Java.

I haven't done much more than read about Python/Django/Flask. If they are mostly similar to Ruby/Rails it doesn't sound like there would be benefit to learning them outside of curiosity (and an affinity to Monty Python).

I suspect that big name bloggers and people that talk a lot about things may find a need to keep viewers coming to their blogs/channels. If there isn't a lot of new stuff to write about but it is still a solid delivery platform, that isn't too exciting to draw viewers.
