Some have argued that the rise of containers correlates with the rise of Python, explaining that containers are particularly well suited to packaging up the dumpster fire that any moderately-complicated Python app quickly becomes.

Of course now we have Rust and Go, but being able to shove your statically-compiled binary into a tiny scratch container and have it cooperate with orchestration systems is still a pretty nice abstraction— just harder to say if it would have been worth it had we not had Django apps needing to be made deployable first.
