It is still fascinating that lisp languages lost to python for AI and data processing
To a first approximation, the only people that love lisps are people with a solid computer science background, and most people working with AI and data processing day to day do not have a computer science background. They're scientists, engineers and mathematicians who see programming and programming languages as a tool needed to do their 'real' job and not as an end in itself. Python is the perfect language for people who want to learn as little programming as possible so that they can get on with what actually interests them.
