Problem with that logic is that python was essentially “reborn” at some point 2010-2012.
That’s when scipy, pandas and notebooks all came together, and with early pandas putting python on the map more than some (cough - Guido - cough) are willing to admit.
Of course the maturity of the ecosystem by then is part of it … but also pushing through the python 3 situation wasn’t trivial and likely speaks to the momentum the science stack brought to the ecosystem.

In general, how much more performant would you say Rust is or can be than Julia? Any good resources on this?
What’s interesting about this take is that it targets the whole “two language” thing and implies that it might be a fool’s errand.
