Also, Python is where the "Rust Evangelism Strike Force" type stuff really started being a massive phenomenon.

Language wars have been forever, of course. But for a few years around 2010-ish, practically every single thread would have someone bringing up Python. If the post was about a tool, how the thing should have really been written in Python. If it was a how-to tutorial about a feature in another language, there would be a subthread about how Python undeniably does it better. Not occasionally, in a thread here and there - it was to the extent you couldn't miss it even if you wanted to. That's a kind of marketing that's proven effective in a forum like this, which is why it's being replicated by other languages now.
